Two presentations for the price of one. Tonight Dirk will discuss rsync
and dfs. Rsync is a very useful tool to make a copy of a directory
structure from one machine to another and then keep them up to date on a
scheduled basis. The big advantage is that rsync will only use network
bandwidth to update the differences of files that have changed. DFS is
microsoft's technology to obfuscate the locations of shares. DFS allows
an administrator to move an entire share from one samba server to
another and have it occur completely without the user knowing about it. 

Our presenter:

Dirk Bartley, a WMU graduate, works as a systems administrator for
Schupan Aluminum Sales, a division of Schupan and Sons. His passion for
free software comes second to spending time with his wife Dawn, an Upper
Peninsula native, and taking Shelly, their sheltie/terrier mix pound
pooch, for a walk. These interests are only followed by his love of
playing ice hockey.
