> 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.

> 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
