The talk will cover many aspects of contingency planning.  Exactly
which aspects will depend upon audience participation.  Judging from
Daniels previous talks there will be plenty of this.

Aspects of Contingency Planning - *NOT* just disaster recovery.
        What to protect?
        What to protect from?
        Risk analysis.
        Common mistakes/shortcomings

Daniel has a long experience as a systems administrator.  His previous talks 
covered aspects such as flooded machine rooms (woops) and were most enjoyable.
