This kind of thing gets posted to the lugmaster list from time to time.
I'll happily continue to forward these here unless they are completely
off topic - but that might be unusual.  Please say so if you'd rather I
didn't forward such messages...
Regards,
Paul Broadhead

Abstracts (File Storage and Backups)


Hi Guys,

One of my many hats is that I am involved in UKUUG. If you think the
following event might be of interest to anyone in your LUG then please
forward it on to them.

In short, FAB 2008 is an event, held on February 19th-20th in Central
London, for system administrators to come together and share
experiences of deploying systems and surviving disasters (and
hopefully recoveries too!). Obviously being UKUUG, we are primarily
interested in talks about setups that somehow involve
Linux/BSD/Solaris/Open Source and so on rather than just Windows
alone.

Cheers,
Zeth

FAB 2008 - File Storage and Backup Seminars - Call for Papers

Disk storage capacities have taken off enormously in the past few
years, while user expectations of data storage have become more
exacting as data is being produced at a frantic rate and the
management of this data has become critical to the core functions of
many organisations. This has changed the problems of data management
that the system administrator has to cope with. These seminars, held
in Central London, is a review of current best practice and
technologies for the system administrator.

The seminar consists of two parts: Wednesday February 19th looks at
storage, Thursday February 20th looks at backups and recovery. We need
your presentations!

Suitable topics for FAB presentations include, but are not limited to:

    * Storage in the Data Centre
    * Backups in the Data Centre
    * High availability
    * High performance
