Time: Wednesday, October 29 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM
Room: "Hall 8.0 Room F7" (could be changed, so check above link for updated information9

This session addresses which components the administrator will need to pay attention to when designing his disaster recovery plan. Not only do we discuss which components we need a backup of, but also which tools and commands are available to complete the task.
