Brendan will discuss the principles of a good backup strategy, and some of the tools that can be brought to bear on the task. The meeting runs between 9.30am and 5.00pm, with the keynote presentation starting at 1.00 pm. There's something for every Mac, iPod, and iPhone user. AUSOM publishes its own monthly printed magazine and hosts about 20 special interest groups. Member services include an online discussion forum with answers to everything on computing and beyond; book and disk libraries; phone help by experts in their respective fields; discounts on CDs and books; and lots more!
