Backup School 101
Speaker:W. Curtis Preston, GlassHouse Technologies
Description: W. Curtis Preston deconstructs the common backup system and points out the mistakes that may be hampering your backup operations.

With the advent of low-cost ATA-based RAID, organizations can improve backup and recovery performance -- and do it more cost effectively. Curtis explains what options you have in creating a disk-based system and the steps you need to take before implementing it.
