Thanks for the revenue. ;)
I'm glad others recommended the book. It's kind of a tome, but it covers a ton in backup & recovery. It's focus is on cheap ways of doing things, so you'll find NOTHING in there about NBU. That's the next book. David Chapa's book is more NBU-centric if that's what you're looking for. For SAN/NAS stuff, the Using SANs and NAS is a good primer on the subject, only about 250 pages. If you want more detail, I'd be looking at Marc Farley's books. I'd also check out anything by Tom Clark. --- W.

Hehe. I just purchased Backup and Recovery. Upon opening the book, I read: "This book is dedicated to those brave men and women who give themselves in service to our country. 'Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.' --John 15:13." Hehe I come from a very a family of service men, but never would have expected such nice words in a Backup and Recovery book. Are the brave souls Storage Administrators? Hehe.

That written, I like (the four year old) Little & Chapa Wiley publication "Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for the Enterprise", as well as Preston's new O'Riley publication "Backup and Recovery", not to be confused with his older work "UNIX Backup and Recovery". As Curtis Preston spends a considerable amount of his time here on this mailing list and on his backupcentral.com web site helping us smucks do a better job for our institutions, ... if you buy just one, buy "Backup and Recovery". :-) cheers, wayne Angela Akridge wrote, in part, on 2007-05-22 10:04 AM: > > Is there a "bible" for Storage Administrators?
