Product Details

The success of information backup systems does not rest on IT administrators alone. Rather, a well-designed backup system comes about only when several key factors coalesce—business involvement, IT acceptance, best practice designs, enterprise software, and reliable hardware. Enterprise Systems Backup and Recovery: A Corporate Insurance Policy provides organizations with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and features involved in effective enterprise backups.

Instead of focusing on any individual backup product, this book recommends corporate procedures and policies that need to be established for comprehensive data protection. It provides relevant information to any organization, regardless of which operating systems or applications are deployed, what backup system is in place, or what planning has been done for business continuity. It explains how backup must be included in every phase of system planning, development, operation, and maintenance. It also provides techniques for analyzing and improving current backup system performance.

After reviewing the concepts in this book, organizations will be able to answer these questions with respect to their enterprise:

• What features and functionality should be expected in a backup environment?
• What terminology and concepts are unique to backup software, and what can be related to other areas?
• How can a backup system be monitored successfully?
• How can the performance of a backup system be improved?
• What features are just "window dressing" and should be ignored, as opposed to those features that are relevant?

Backup and recovery systems touch on just about every system in an organization. Properly implemented, they can provide an enterprise with greater assurance that its information is safe. By utilizing the information in this book, organizations can take a greater step toward improving the security of their data and preventing the devastating loss of data and business revenue that can occur with poorly constructed or inefficient systems.

Summary: Extremely good

Detailed: This book is obviously written by someone extremely knowledgeable of the subject of data protection. Whilst the sibject could be considered to be dry, it is an essential part of any IT organisations day to day responsibilities, and, in this book, it is delivered in a very personal style, which makes it exceptionally easy to read. How often can you say that you've laughed whilst reading a book about Backup?

This is a highly recommended book that will step you through the minefield of data protection and it will either affirm that you are doing it well, or give you some insights into how you cann improve.

This book should be in front of every IT manager and on the desk of every administrator, or consultant, who is involved in data protection!

Go buy it! It's your best insurance policy not to make a bad mistake!

Summary: Excellent work

Detailed: I'm writing this review in part because this book currently has a two-star rating, which is a travesty. Anyone who works with backups on a regular basis would be remiss if they did not purchase this work.

This book will be especially useful to those individuals responsible for maintaining their backup environment but who do not have the time and/or experience to dive deeply into it. Your typical administrator will check for failures, re-run some jobs, and perform recoveries only when requested, and think they've covered their bases--only to discover one day that they can't recover that important file/database/server! Why? Because somewhere down the line (initial design, process, documentation, etc) there was a critical oversight, and proper (and regular!) testing was not done to suss out these deficiencies. More than anything, this book aims to get administrators to approach backup management/design with skepticism and with an eye towards empirical results, which it accomplishes with numerous examples and careful analysis. The technical details will, of course, be useful as well (especially for those administrators who don't have a lot of exposure to backup systems), but the tips/tricks and advice on how to properly design/manage your enterprise backup environment will be what sticks with you the longest.

Summary: Great BAckground information

Detailed: This is a well written easy to understand book that explains why you should do things and the associated options to do it so you can adapt that information to your environment
