The eGTUG European NonStop Symposium brings together the NonStop community for three days of education, technical sessions, and networking. The 2026 program follows the successful format of the 2025 eBITUG conference in Dublin.
GTUG is offering rooms for your education/training sessions as part of certain sponsoring packages.
GTUG Education Day Track: HPE Nonstop BackBox Immutability Configurations for DORA Compliance
This education track is designed to provide a practical and comprehensive understanding of how to meet DORA requirements for protecting HPE Nonstop backup data and system restores through immutability. The session will examine the DORA compliance framework as it applies to tamper-proof backup data, including a clear definition of immutability, an overview of locking technologies, and an analysis of common implementation challenges. Topics will include architectural constraints, integration considerations, performance and operational trade-offs, as well as recovery and testing implications.
Participants will also receive an overview of the latest enhancements in BackBox 5.0, along with proven best practices for planning, implementing, and operating a DORA-compliant HPE Nonstop backup environment.
Who Should Attend
This session is intended for IT leaders, architects, and operations professionals responsible for ensuring HPE Nonstop systems meet DORA compliance requirements, as well as those who design, manage, and operate Nonstop backup infrastructures.
Why Attend
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of key DORA compliance concepts, Nonstop-specific architectural considerations, and actionable best practices for implementing and managing immutable backup solutions. The session is designed to equip participants with the knowledge required to confidently design and operate resilient, compliant Nonstop backup environments.
The regular conference program includes up to three parallel tracks. On Wednesday evening, there will be a guided walking tour from the hotel to the dinner and entertainment venue, passing several of Munich’s well-known sights. The evening will feature a “Bavarian Evening” with food, drinks, and music.
Find us at the vendor presentation on Thursday, April 16, from 4:00 PM to 4:45 PM. During this time, Mike Mitsch will be presenting insights with the Nonstop community for you to share with others for better understanding.
