we use this Room Booking System - Online Room Booking Software it shows all our classrooms and updates each night direct from SIMS. If a room gets blocked out for cover reasons then the period of time gets greyed out works really well. If people make a booking it all goes through to the cover manager to approve or decline

looking good!

Whats the support like?

I have been asked to look at alternatives for Smoothwall what do you guys use? We are a school of 1500 pupils, 950ish desktops and have students using BYOD. So looking for a system that can do user / group related policies and transparent filtering for our wireless networks along with maybe a built in VPN like smoothwall offers? So far had a brief look at: Cyberoam Lightspeed Systems

We use 120GB SSDs in ours then bung in an extra 500gb disk for the PCs in our office for shoving random stuff on it. our base image is round 60 - 70Gb so works out nicely for us and very speedy image includes the likes of photoshop, auto cad software, Unreal Development Kit etc

Ours is designed by e4education they revamped our site this year and looks very nice!

No worries

You can redirect the profile directory using ${profile}\Google\Google Chrome under the set data directory option in the adm this will redirect their chrome profile into their profile and will then keep bookmarks etc between logins

We currently have 8Tb of staff, student and share data that we are trying to backup. This data is stored on SAN and then accessed through 2 x file host nodes. We currently backup using backuppc ontop of ubuntu. We have found that using SMB on backuppc meant that our full backups were taking over 4 days to complete meaning that they weren't completing during the space of the weekend. We decided to try adding our backup server to the file fibre channel cluster so that it uses the Fibrechannel network to access the data instead. However this is now taking longer than before. Does anyone else backup this amount of data? If you do what do you use and how are your backups set up?

@Millgate cheers for the cocktail mate gave me the kick needed to keep on walking!! Will drop you an email about the switching stuff

Dad has the automatic version really comfy, spacious and loads of room in the boot. Fairly economic and nice to drive though the automatic version has issues get off the mark quickly if you put your foot down. As said by some its interesting to drive when in the snow... but apart from that its nice car

That's the view im looking at one less set of tapes to manage and for someone to lose. But the school want's to prepare for village wide destruction it would seem

different building sorry! If we did remove the data off site we would make sure that it was encrypted

are those termly backups on seperate tapes or are you able to fit multiple terms on a set of tapes?

The safe would be housed in a different place to our backup server. I don't see any real reason to remove the data from site but I'm being asked to ask the question. Do you have any links to DPA info about removing data from site?
