| Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for the Enterprise by Wiley Someone Please Shorten This Book |
| I don't know how many more books like this I can read. Except for the examples, its very high level. At least half the book is allocated to middle management-esque writing regarding how the best way to manage "enterprize systems." There is some good information here, but it seems a little too Politically Correct to my tastes. I have not seen a data center that actually operates as the book describes. Also, the author has a relationship with Veritas, so how many of Vertitas' shortcomings can we expect from a book like this? The entire manuscript would have to have passed through Veritas' legal and PR department before getting anywhere near the publisher. So much for getting the real story. As far as alternatives, if the reader is looking for corporate/unix information, Unix Backup and Recovery for UNIX is the way to go. For PC users, you can't beat How to Backup Your Windows Computer. Really, there are very few titles in this area. |
| Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for the Enterprise by Wiley not that useful. not good at all for netbackup. |
not that useful in real life. not good at all for netbackup.
however, it is good for "general knowledge" about backup.
really good for calculating capacity etc. |
| Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for the Enterprise by Wiley Amazing general resource despite vendor-centric approach |
| I don't normally find value in general topic books that use a specific product to illustrate concepts; however, this book is an exception. The authors thoroughly cover all of the issues associated with back-up and recovery, including those related to business continuity, disaster recovery, and the affect that back-up and recovery has on service and availability. Given the pervasiveness of both UNIX (including Linux), and Windows, I like the fact that both operating systems are addressed in the book. I am firmly in the UNIX camp, but it's nearly impossible to find a Linux or UNIX shop that doesn't have at least some critical applications running on Windows servers. Of course, if you use Netbackup this book is going to be all the more valuable; however, if you don't, do not let the fact that the authors base the concepts and examples on this product dissuade you from buying this book. It is one of the best books on back-up and recovery issues and challenges, regardless of vendor solution used. |
| Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for the Enterprise by Wiley A must read for anyone tasked with backup and recovery |
| If you are setting up a new backup and recovery environment, or if you are maintaining an existing strategy, this book is a must read. Not only does it walk you through backup and recovery process from start to finish, it helps you to understand that there is more required to backup - and especially recovery - than simply performing daily backups. |
| Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for the Enterprise by Wiley Great overview of Backup and Recovery |
| This book is a must have for the person doing backup and recovery in an enterprise environment. It cuts through all the chase and gets right to the point. A great book for the novice or expert!!!! I've been working in the backup and recovery areana for over 7 years and this book already has some worn out pages. |
