In powerlink, you can sign up for the alerts.  This is the one for
networker, which is the one that sent out the alert on Saturday.

disaster recovery

I wasn't that lucky... I lost a win2008 server on August 31.... but this

esg was for someone that had a failure even before I lost my system.  
I'm glad that EMC has finally released the document.

As we are an educational institution and participate in the Microsoft 
Campus Agreement, we may have another option that will allow us to have 
an incremental -- but really, this is a BMR (true disaster) recovery 
situation that is being addressed.

Of bigger interest to me is that you got an alert -- what signup have I 
missed that I'm not getting these alerts?
