von Gratien D'haese (IT3 Consultants)

Wednesday, 23.05.2012, Europa II, 16:00-16:45 Uhr

Disasters do happen, big or small, so we better be prepared before these happen. Commercial Operating Systems ship tools to help you prepare or create images for several years already. However, Linux still lacks a good standard tool delivered with the core system tools (besides tar) to assist with creating a disaster recovery images. As you can image a disaster recovery (DR) exercise is more then just restoring a plain backup.

In the first part of the presentation we will guide you through the different steps in creating a Linux Disaster Recovery Procedure Plan and going deeper in some aspects of Business Continuity (BC) planning. In the second part of the presentation we will give you an overview of the available solutions on the market around Linux DR tools with some pro/cons.
