Relax and Recover workshop

von Gratien D'haese (IT3 Consultants)

Thursday, 24.05.2012, New York 2.1, 10:00-12:00 Uhr

Relax and Recover (rear) is an Open Source disaster recovery framework for GNU/Linux based systems. The disaster recovery information (and maybe the backups) can be stored on the network, USB devices. tape devices and DVD/CD-R. The result is a bootable rescue system that can be booted via PXE, DVD/CD, tape and USB media. Rear can also integrated with external backup software to rely on data storage.

The purpose of the workshop is show how it is done in practice with some live demonstrations. After the workshop the administrators will be able to implement rear in their environment very quickly without struggling with the options and output possibilities of rear.

The workshop will use slides with basic and complex examples (useful as reference material later on) and the possibility to exercise via your own linux laptop. Questions can be raised during the workshop as it is the purpose to be very interactive lab sessions. We foresee 2 hours for this workshop.

At the end we can have a discussion on the future roadmap of rear. Setting some milestones and getting customer feedback.
