IMO - just knowing there is a difference between the 3 components would get 
many people a job! (:>

Erik has it.  Define the 3 by value to the organisation and by tool set 
required.

Thanks

        I see three discreet sections :
        1) Data Management - you can discuss identifying and classifying 'data 
assets' with regards to value and necessary security, access rights based on 
'concept of least privilege', change control/auditing (based on any compliance 
requirements as a plus) de-duplication, etc
        2) Availability - how you would build your systems, how to classify 
need for load balance, fault tolerance, and high availability.  Load balance 
could lead into monitoring systems for performance degradation that would 
affect productivity
        3) Disaster Recovery - importance of a business continuity plan, that 
includes Finance, HR, Executives to ensure plan can be effectively executed in 
a timely manner.  Data/asset classification to determine which systems/data 
needs to be restored ASAP, versus secondary needs, and then the 'rest' that 
would have minimum impact on business.  This includes, but is not solely your 
backup/restore process, SAN snapshots, VM migration/restoration, hot/warm 
recovery sites, etc

                hi, 

                having just been made redundant I have been applying for al 
sorts of IT roles, whatI have been doing for the last 15 years (designing, 
implementing and supporting windows server based networks for small to large 
enterprises).

                I have just received my first interview confirmation, and they 
have asked that I submit in advance and give on the day a 10 minute 
presentation on the topic "Discuss Data Management, availability and Disaster 
Recovery"

                Now I have never been asked to do this before well more not on 
such a wide topic.

                anyone got any suggestions on what I can base it around, I am 
not looking for anyone to do it for me just some topics or ideas on what to do 
it on?

                TIA
