Re: postgresql and solaris 10: pitch to sysadmins

couldn't be more timely- could someone elaborate on this ("managing a
backup infrastructure")? is it for sysadmin types??

http://www.commandprompt.com/blogs/joshua_drake/2007/06/training_hot_seat_style/
"...
Most of our clients want short, specific classes on items such as
managing a backup infrastructure, understanding PostgreSQL I/O, and
Tuning Autovacuum.
...
The classes are short. No more than 8 hours, broken up over two days.
The classes are taught virtually, using industry standard remote
desktop and teleconference technologies. The classes are going to be
relatively inexpensive with an 8 hour course costing higher than
100.00 but less than 500.00

what all does solaris 10 support cover?
