Date: Mar 03/09/12 9:57 PM From: "John P. Rouillard" Subject: [BBLISA-announce] March BBLISA meeting: Bacula (this Wednesday March 14) Hello All: The March BBLISA talk will be: Bacula: An Introduction to an Open Source backup system by K. M. Petersen. What should be a simple problem to solve - having a copy of important data in case of hardware error or human mistake - turns out to have complex (and expensive) solutions. Bacula is an open-source application that runs in most popular environments, supports disk and tape-based backups, and utilizes a database for managing its catalog of file versions and backup media. This presentation will discuss Bacula's functionality, including its features and some implementation details, and provide a short example of a working configuration. K. M. Peterson has worked as a manager, systems administrator, and consultant in academic, commercial, and non-profit environments. He's interested in topics in data management, networking, security and automation. Currently, he is seeking the next challenging role, and digging deeper into interesting technologies he has encountered over the past several years. He lives in Brookline and reads voraciously, bicycles rapidly, and photographs occasionally. Contact information and his resume are at kmpeterson.com Room: MIT E-51, Room 145 Date/Time: Wednesday March 14th 2012 at 7PM I look forward to seeing you there. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. _______________________________________________ bblisa-announce mailing list bblisa-announce@bblisa.org http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa-announce
