One of the leading backup experts, W. Curtis Preston, explains in the first part of his 2-part series the top ten ways that people misconfigure backup systems. As he explains each of these common configuration mistakes, he covers why people typically configure systems this way, what they are attempting to accomplish -- and how they are usually accomplishing the opposite. Preston's ability to explain deep technical issues to non-technical audiences will help even the most novice attendee understand these concepts.
Learn about:
- How many people give their system too little (or too much) power
- The concepts of multistreaming, interleaving, and multiplexing, and how most environments misuse them
- How companies over-engineer their backup systems in some areas, and under-engineer them in other areas
This session assumes no prior knowledge of backup practices or technologies.
