Just wanted to get a quick note out there that Darrin Bishop has been kind enough to invite me to speak about SharePoint Disaster Recovery at the Central Illinois SharePoint User Group in August, so I wanted to provide the details on it for anyone who wants to come heckle/question/annoy/encourage me.
Below is the full write-up on the event from Darrin, he does a great job of covering it all so I'll just let him take it from here:
Please join us for the next meeting
of the Central Illinois SharePoint User Group.
The Central Illinois SharePoint User Group provides a venue for anyone who is
interested in learning more about Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server. We hope to provide a means for organizations within
the Central Illinois region to connect and discuss all areas of SharePoint with
the help of some great speakers. If you are thinking about SharePoint, starting
with SharePoint or have a long history of using SharePoint we hope you will
spend the morning with the group and help spread the knowledge. Please
pass this invite along to anyone who has an interest in SharePoint.
Topic:
A look at the options available for preserving your SharePoint environment and
how disaster recovery goes far beyond just running regular backups or using a
tool to save your content. John Ferringer, co-author of the "SharePoint
2007 Disaster Recovery Guide," will cover disaster recovery concepts and
strategies, explaining terms such as recovery time objectives and recovery
point objects and why DR is so much more than just backing up your SharePoint
sites. John will also be discussing the benefits, limitations, and potential
scenarios for the many tools Microsoft makes available to backup and restore
SharePoint, with a focus on finding the right fit for a variety of situations
and environments.
Speaker :
John Ferringer is a Solutions Architect for Apparatus, Inc. in Indianapolis,
