From the description:

This year, Toigo is back with a completely updated seminar that will provide storage managers and DR planners with an inside look at what makes a solid DR plan. Often times disaster recovery plans tend to focus on technology “bolt on’s” designed to replicate data and infrastructure. Little attention is paid to building in recoverability – into business processes and their technological support systems – so to prevent the predominant form of interruption events: those related to data management.

This three part program seeks to reset the focus of disaster recovery and business continuity planning to embrace disaster prevention and to build in recovery from those disasters that cannot be prevented. Toigo will explain the best ways to make sure the data coming into a storage environment has the best chance of being recovered to a usable form, should disaster strike. He'll cover data classification modeling and the rigorous testing schedule companies should apply to all DR plans and systems.

When you leave the seminar you'll have a DR certification from Toigo's Data Management Institute.

We hope to see you there.
