Hello, Ubuntuers in Perth may be interested in a presentation I am giving next Tuesday on bare-metal system recovery with Mondo Rescue - details attached. It's not Ubuntu-specific but works just as well on Ubuntu systems as on Debian, Fedora, RHEL, SuSE, Gentoo, etc... =)

--- Begin Message ---Hi all, Another late meeting notice... sorry. But you all knew it was coming, didn't you? ============================================================================== AUUG Western Australian Chapter Meeting and SAGE-AU Western Australian Chapter Meeting - 5th February 2008 - This month's meeting is sponsored and presented by: ** SAGE-AU: The System Administrators Guild of Australia ** ============================================================================== DATE: Tuesday February 5th, 2008 TIME: 6:00 PM (drinks), 6:30 PM (meeting) VENUE: Moon and Sixpence British Pub 300 Murray St Perth 6000 .: AGENDA :. ------------ [6:00pm] Meet for drinks and chat at "The Stables" in the rear of the pub. The area is roped off with signage announcing the meeting. [6:25pm] Migration to the Raine Room of the adjoining Comfort Inn. [6:30pm] Welcome & Weekly War Stories. [6:35pm] Meeting commences. This month's topic is Linux Bare Metal Recovery (Mondo Rescue), presented by Andrew Shugg. "Hopefully all of you who came to the November 2007 meeting for the presentation of StorageCraft's ShadowProtect software will have gone away with your free copy of the product to excitedly try out on all your Windows PCs and servers. Can you remember when bare-metal recovery was HARD? "This month I will be demonstrating Mondo Rescue, a freely available software package for PCs running GNU/Linux and FreeBSD operating systems. Mondo Rescue can help you achieve many of the things you can do with ShadowProtect in Windows - system cloning, hardware independent restore, bare metal recovery, physical-to-virtual migration, OS provisioning, and the like. "They work in completely separate ways, however, and the concepts of one do not necessarily apply to the other. Join me for this presentation and learn a lot of things that Mondo Rescue CAN do, as well as a frank and honest appraisal of what it CAN'T do. Yet..." Andrew Shugg is a Senior Consultant at E&P I.T. Solutions. Their servers (and more importantly, their customers' servers) are too frightened to _ever_ need bare-metal recovery. [7:30pm] Meeting close. Migration back to the pub for beer, soft drinks, sandwiches, Q&A, and General Discussion of current IT issues. .: DIRECTIONS :. ---------------- The Moon and Sixpence pub is located on Murray Street, Perth, between Queen and William Streets.
