TSM - Backup and Recovery - 11th August - 5pm

Friends, you will be delighted to read that the next TSM (TWINCLING Saturday Meet) is on

'Backup and Recovery' - an Open Source perspective.

Abstract
Backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These additional copies are typically called "backups."

Backups are useful primarily for two purposes:
1. to restore a computer to an operational state following a disaster (called disaster recovery)
2. to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.

The talk scheduled to be held on Saturday, 11th August at 5pm will be delivered by Ms. Namita Iyer.

Ms. Namita Iyer is a storage industry veteran with 9+ years experience, who has been involved in storage product development at Brocade, Veritas and CommVault among other companies.

She will be talking about various backup & recovery technologies and industry trends.
She will also highlight gaps and opportunities in this space and the value Open Source brings to the customer and enterprise.
