An Excellent Resource for Any SysAdmin (0/0 people found this helpful)
I was a big admirer of the previous edition of this book which was concerned with backing up and recovering UNIX systems. Preston has extended the scope of the book to cover Windows and MAC OS operating systems as well as touching on virtualisation and providing extended coverage of the major RDBMS.
If you're a sysadmin with any responsibility for backups in any shape or form, this book is a must.
Very useful, worth every penny spent. (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is a great source to start with when you realise the importance of information backups. Usually among small businesses backups are not first priority investment as tape devices are still relatively expensive comparing to other media, and although nothing beats taping in terms of reliability and automation it remains a blackbox for many. I found this book to be very useful and containing enough information to get prepared and started properly.
Currently, I have a tape drive working under Windows, but soon we will add couple more drives running under Unix and there when I will use multiple examples this book is full of. From files to databases and bare metal - all is covered and explained simply and clearly and that's what I enjoy most when reading books of such content. Plus you have a great set of commercial and open source utilities reviewed and explained - all on more than 700 pages.
I am sure I will be using this book every now and then when changing or expanding our network as to the moment I absolutely loved it. Very useful, worth every penny spent.
