Thanks for catching the MDT/MST thing - I just copied and pasted without my copyeditor hat on. It was one of my pet peeves at Spiceworks when people got that wrong, so I used to send out an email to all reminding them every time daylight savings changed.
I can never keep straight what is and isn't daylight savings time. So CDT would start in the spring and end when it went back to CST in the fall? (spring forward, fall back)

Yep, we go back to ST in like 2 weeks.
Frankly I think it's time to bail on the clock change, the reasons for doing it don't really apply anymore.

And haven't for most of a century. They are actually backwards since the introduction of air conditioning and the move towards the southern states.

It's easy, use European time instead of American as the American is named backwards. In Europe it is not daylight savings but "summer time". So England just came off of "British Summer Time" or BST to go back to "Greenwich Mean Time" or GMT.
So you can always remember that Daylight time in the US is in the summer because the non-standard time in Europe is British Summer Time and European Summer Time.
Ta da

Is there going to be a recording of it?

That will not help me remember it at all. I'll just remember that XDT is in the summer. That I can remember.

@nadnerB probably - we usually record and post the recordings.

Signed into the webinar.

On and listening!

I'm on too.

It's really good - fascinating history of all the different versions.
-
This webinar reminds me while I love modern "cloud" file servers which are vastly harder to hit with this kind of stuff (so far.) It's really the SMB exposure that makes the files so vulnerable.
-
I see that the CDC is in attendance.
-
And IBM
-
Great webinar. The journaling questions were mine.
-
Both of them. They were the second and third questions, I think it was. About encrypting the journals and then impact on performance.
