Database Recovery (Advances in Database Systems) (Hardcover)

2009-03-23T13:22:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Database Recovery presents an in-depth discussion on all aspects of database recovery. Firstly, it introduces the topic informally to set the intuitive understanding, and then presents a formal treatment of recovery mechanism. In the past, recovery has been treated merely as a mechanism which is implemented on an ad-hoc basis. This book elevates the recovery from a mechanism to a concept, and presents its essential properties. A book on recovery is incomplete if it does not present how recovery is practiced in commercial systems. This book, therefore, presents a detailed description of recovery mechanisms as implemented on Informix, OpenIngres, Oracle, and Sybase commercial database systems. Database Recovery is suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course on database recovery, as a secondary text for a graduate-level course on database systems, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Recovery in Parallel Database Systems (Paperback)

2009-03-23T13:18:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The relational DBMS technology is a success in the commercial market. This success has led to the use of DBMS technology in application environments requesting their traditional virtues but at the same time adding new requirements such as: Very high transaction rates, real-time transaction response, and continuous availability. New multi-processor hardware architectures lay the foundation making it possible to meet these requirements. This book presents and analysis in a systematic way the main recovery approaches for centralized DBMSs developed over the last two decades, in particular to how well they fulfill the requirements for availability and soft real-time response. The analysis relates specifically to approaches used in current commercial and research systems. The element in particular lacking in the current methods is the ability to on-line re-establish the fault tolerance level automatically and without blocking. A set of novel recovery methods for parallel DBM's based on multi-computer shared nothing hardware is presented. The recovery methods are intended to support: Continuously available transaction services, very high transaction loads, and soft real-time transaction response.

Fault-tolerant control and data recovery in HVAC monitoring system [An article from: Energy & Buildings] [HTML] (Digital)

2009-03-23T12:23:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This digital document is a journal article from Energy & Buildings, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
It is necessary that a reliable and optimal control system has the ability of fault tolerance, which recovers the faulty and/or missed data in time. Principal component analysis (PCA) is presented to model HVAC monitored systems by using the measured data under normal operation condition (NOC). PCA splits the measurement space into two subspaces, one principal component subspace (PCS) and the other residual subspace (RS). When the faulty or missed data is observed, it will be projected into PCS and RS. It is then recovered by sliding the faulty or missed data to PCS via iteration. Examples of HVAC monitoring system have demonstrated that the approach has good performance to recover faulty or missed data and thus can be embedded into the system to achieve fault-tolerant control.

From the Inside Flap
Business Continuity Planning for Data Centers and Systems

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that disaster can strike in any shape, at any time. Few businesses can afford to shut down for an extended period of time, regardless of the cause—a good business continuity plan is necessary to keep a company up and running. Business Continuity Planning for Data Centers and Systems is the primer that helps professionals make sure they have covered all the necessary bases in selecting a data center and disaster recovery site.

Designed to help businesses plan for occurrences that could cause a business stoppage, Business Continuity Planning for Data Centers and Systems: A Strategic Implementation Guide shows CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and IT managers how to evaluate their business in terms of vulnerability to disaster and create an effective and useful disaster recovery plan.

The events of September 11, 2001, the blackout of August 14, 2003, and Hurricane Katrina showed that downtime in any form means disaster to the various financial communities and the companies serving them. Focused on site selection for uptime-critical environ-ments, this timely book is an essential blueprint for companies' disaster recovery efforts and covers:

Financial planning details that most disaster recovery guides do not provide
The cost of business interruptions
History of business outages
Recent acts, legislation, rules, and guidelines on disaster recovery
The future of business continuity planning

This thoroughly practical guide reveals a proven methodology for implementing a realistic and cost-efficient business continuity plan that anticipates every possible disaster. For companies that need to comply with SOX and the Patriot Act, Business Continuity Planning for Data Centers and Systems: A Strategic Implementation Guide enables professionals to take a proactive role in preparing a logical "what if" plan for every possible worst-case scenario a business may face today.

Clustering for Data Mining: A Data Recovery Approach (Kindle Edition)

2009-03-23T05:13:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Review
The particular decomposition studied in this book is the decomposition of the total sum of squares matrix into between and within cluster components, and the book develops this decomposition, and its associated diagnostics, further than I have seen them developed for cluster analysis before. Overall, the book presents an unusual, perhaps even rather idiosyncratic approach to cluster analysis, from the perspective of someone who is clearly an enthusiast for the insights these tools can bring to understanding data.
-D.J. Hand, Short Book Reviews of the ISI

Product Description
Often considered more as an art than a science, the field of clustering has been dominated by learning through examples and by techniques chosen almost through trial-and-error. Even the most popular clustering methods--K-Means for partitioning the data set and Ward's method for hierarchical clustering--have lacked the theoretical attention that would establish a firm relationship between the two methods and relevant interpretation aids.

Rather than the traditional set of ad hoc techniques, Clustering for Data Mining: A Data Recovery Approach presents a theory that not only closes gaps in K-Means and Ward methods, but also extends them into areas of current interest, such as clustering mixed scale data and incomplete clustering. The author suggests original methods for both cluster finding and cluster description, addresses related topics such as principal component analysis, contingency measures, and data visualization, and includes nearly 60 computational examples covering all stages of clustering, from data pre-processing to cluster validation and results interpretation.

This author's unique attention to data recovery methods, theory-based advice, pre- and post-processing issues that are beyond the scope of most texts, and clear, practical instructions for real-world data mining make this book ideally suited for virtually all purposes: for teaching, for self-study, and for professional reference. ---------------------Features--------------------- · Introduces classical clustering methods extended, via the data recovery approach, to modern data mining tasks · Describes the theory that leads to these methods and relevant interpretation aids, fills gaps in the established theory, and corrects common misconceptions · Treats the two most popular methods, K-Means and Ward clustering, offering the first theoretically motivated instructions for automating all steps of data mining with clustering · Offers an up-to-date description of current data mining issues, such as feature selection and cluster validation · Presents a wealth of computational examples covering all stages of clustering

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
As long as networks of Microsoft Windows systems are managed,administered, and used by people, security incidents will occur. Windowssystems are highly pervasive throughout the entire computing infrastructure,from home and school systems, to high-end e-commerce sites. In contrast tothis pervasiveness, information regarding conducting effective incidentresponse and forensic audit activities on Windows systems is limited. Whilethere are many security books available, none focus specifically on Windowssecurity. There are also resources available online, but they are scattered andoften too general. This book is a compilation of all the information currentlyavailable on this subject. It is for anyone who manages or administers Windowssystems (including home users) and needs to know how to react when theysuspect that an incident has occurred. It guides the reader throughinformation, tools, and techniques that are required to conduct incidentresponse or a live forensics audit activities.By providing the necessarybackground for understanding how incidents occur and how data can behidden on compromised systems, the reader will have a better understanding ofthe "whys" and "hows" of incident response and forensic audit activities. *It isimportant to note that regulatory issues are also pushing organizations towardbetter security and incident preparedness policies.

Acknowledgments

I'd like to start by thanking Larry Leibrock and Jay Heiser for getting me started down this road. Several years ago, I had developed a 2-day, hands-on incident response course for Windows 2000, and Larry provided me with my initial opportunity to teach it at the University of Texas in Austin. This book began its life as the presentation for the incident response course. I had done a technical review of Jay and Warren Kruse's computer forensics book, and Jay provided my name to his former editor as someone who may be interested in writing a book on the subject of Windows security.

Karen Gettman offered me the opportunity to write this book, and I decided to take it. I'd had articles published, but I'd never written a book. Karen and her assistant, Elizabeth Zdunich, kept me on track throughout this process.

I'd like to thank several of the reviewers as well. Of all of the reviewers who've been involved in this process, I'd like to recognize Jennifer Kolde, Mike Lyman, and Jason Chan for their efforts and input. The reviews from these three individuals provided valuable constructive criticism regarding the content and structure of the book. I can't say that I followed all the advice they provided, but I did read and consider everything they said thoroughly. With their help and insight, I didn't feel as if I were working on this book alone. Thanks, guys, for your time and effort. And Jen, thanks for indulging me all those time I'd email you with thoughts about your comments. Those exchanges gave me even more insight into to the content of the book, as well as the subject of incident response on Windows systems, in general.

Finally, and most importantly, I'd like to thank Terri Dougherty. I've written a book, and yet I can't seem to find the words to express my gratitude for your support throughout this process. Thank you. I owe you a debt that I will be repaying for a long time.

I finished reading this book about six months ago and delayed writing a review of the book until I had a chance to contrast the contents of the book with the Oracle 10g R2 RMAN documentation and other books on the same subject. I bought the book after reading recommendations by several individuals, and thought that this book was the perfect opportunity to refresh by memory of the Oracle 8i documentation of RMAN and bring me up to speed with the command line interface of RMAN in Oracle 10g R2. The Enterprise Manager Database Control in Oracle 10g R2 almost over simplifies the process of setting up backups, but there is always that nagging question... what if the GUI interface is down, underscoring why it is important to be familiar and comfortable with the command line interface when restore and recovery are needed. I was also preparing to give a presentation related to Oracle administration and performance tuning. This book did not meet the criteria for inclusion in the recommended resources for the presentation, and for that matter neither did any other RMAN book, with the possible exception of the Oracle documentation.

While the book excels at explaining what makes RMAN tick, I personally found that the book is actually a bit difficult to use when trying to implement a change to the Oracle configuration. The section on database cloning, for instance, is more difficult to follow than Oracle's own "Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide" documentation on the same topic. Maybe it is just me (and one or two other people). Flipping between several pages (seemed like a hundred or more) is not confidence inspiring had this been a real emergency.

I then decided to try a couple recovery scenarios. I set up an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database instance on a new box, used impdp to load a copy of the data from a production database, enabled archived redo log mode, and then scheduled a backup using the Enterprise Manager Database Control. The first test involved shutting down the Oracle instance, and renaming both copies of the control files. The first attempt in following the "Oracle Database 10g RMAN Backup & Recovery" book to recover from this problem resulted in "ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ACCESS_VIOLATION] [unable_to_trans_pc] [PC:0x7c910CB0] [ADDR:0x4] [UNABLE_TO_READ] []". The book did not cover how to recover from the ORA-07445, which essentially means that Oracle Metalink support must be contacted - the database is down. Not too reassuring. The second attempt (after recreating the instance and database) of following the book to perform this procedure, after realizing that I should have specified RESETLOGS (if I recall correctly, it seems that information was located somewhere else in the book) resulted in "ORA-19698: ...\redo01.log is from different datadase: id=0, db_name=" following the execution of ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS. Once again, scanning through this book I did not find the solution to this particular problem. Had this been a real emergency, this book would not have been the only object to hit the recycle bin.

Other miscellaneous notes about the book, in no particular order:
* 100+ pages of the book are devoted to setting up RMAN to work with various storage/media managers.
* RMAN workshops list steps to accomplish various tasks, often spread over 5+ pages in the book. Not all required information is located in close proximity to the RMAN workshops.
* Covers command line and Enterprise Manager GUI commands for RMAN.
* Demonstrates flashback versions queries, flashback table, flashback drop, flashback database
* Many screen shots, diagrams, RMAN Workshop break outs, large font - space filling section headings, seemingly wide margins.
* Some steps which should be straight forward, such as duplicating a database using RMAN, appear to be very simple when reading the book, yet when attempting to put those simple procedures into practice using the book as a guide, are in fact quite difficult due to all of the alternate syntax which is introduced to cover many different set ups. It might be necessary to flip between 50 different pages to successfully duplicate a database on the same server using this book as a guide.
* The book does not indicate what features described in the book require an Enterprise Edition license, nor what features require additional licenses beyond an Enterprise Edition license (this seems to happen in several books by different authors).
* In a crisis, the Recovery Case Studies in chapter 21, which could prove to be the most helpful section of the book, but that section only covers 13 scenarios, all with generally a long description to describe the recovery case study problem.

This book is spared a three star recommendation only by the fact that I enjoyed reading the book cover to cover.

Recently, I have been reading "RMAN Recipes for Oracle Database 11g: A Problem-
Solution Approach" and have found that the book is better organized, locating the necessary information in the right places for accomplishing a task, although there is a bit of over repeating in the book (the same sentence appears in two adjacent paragraphs, for example). While the RMAN Recipes book states that it is designed for Oracle 11g, there are output captures which show that some of the sections of the book were written using Oracle 10.2.0.x. If you are considering the purchase of "Oracle Database 10g RMAN Backup & Recovery", you might first want to examine "RMAN Recipes for Oracle Database 11g: A Problem-Solution Approach" through the Google books search to determine if it is a better fit for your anticipated backup and recovery scenarios.

Review
"Finally, the book contains a good index and a brief appendix giving links to other sources. A very useful volume that should find favour with anyone who wishes to implement RAID on a Linux system." - Steve Boniwell, HP/Works

Product Description
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology is becoming a standard feature of computer systems that support mission-critical services like file sharing, mail exchange, or Web servers. RAID offers two benefits to these essential systems: improved I/O performance and fail-safe data storage. RAID has become the low-cost solution of choice to deal with the ever-increasing demand for data storage space. Managing RAID on Linux covers everything system administrators, power users, and tech managers need to know to put together a system that can support RAID. You will learn about the different types of RAID, along with associated technologies and issues, and how to choose the best RAID system for your needs. With a step-by-step, hands-on approach, the author guides you through the installation of either Linux software RAID or a hardware RAID card. The book shows how to build an array and optionally install a high-performance file system. Managing RAID on Linux sidesteps the often-confusing vendor-specific approach you'll find elsewhere to give you the straight story on RAID. Even non-Linux users will find this book full of valuable material.

Pro SQL Server Disaster Recovery (Kindle Edition)

2009-03-20T13:48:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Many would argue that the single, most important job of a SQL Server database administrator is to be able to recover your database in the event of loss or damage. Pro SQL Server Disaster Recovery helps you meet that goal by showing you how to think about and plan for potential problems. You’ll learn to anticipate and reduce the likelihood of a disaster, and to mitigate the effects of a disaster when one does occur. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll learn how to prepare so that you can return a system to its normal state quickly, ensuring system availability and the continued success and operation of your business.

Many SQL Server features and technologies are, or can be put to good use in disaster recovery planning. In this book, you’ll learn about powerful tools and features — such as Database Snapshots and Mirroring — for data backup and disaster recovery that are present in SQL Server 2005, and that are enhanced in SQL Server 2008. Also covered are common issues to expect when using these features. This book explores your options by examining the technical details of disaster recovery features and then applying that knowledge to practical scenarios.

There’s a human side to disaster recovery planning as well. Like few other activities, disaster recovery planning requires that you work closely with a wide variety of people from all across your organization. People skills are as critical to disaster recovery planning as technical skills, and perhaps more so. This book does not leave you in the dark, but provides sound advice on how to keep disaster recovery planning projects on track, how to avoid dangerous scope creep, and how to work effectively with the variety of personality types that you will encounter.

Disaster recovery planning is really about sleep. When you get the call at 3:00 am that your database is lost, don’t wake up with that icy feeling in your veins. Instead wake up with confidence that you have a plan in place, a plan that you’ve practiced, that management has bought into, a plan that you can execute even while half–asleep to get your database, your company, and your job back on track.

What you’ll learn

This book shows you how to implement an effective disaster recovery strategy for SQL Server 2005 databases. It covers:

Real–world examples of data loss and what might have been done to prevent it
A systematic, problem–based approach to designing a disaster recovery plan
Pitfalls one might encounter, and how to deal with them
Team dynamics, and the soft–side of disaster planning
New technology in SQL Server 2005 and 2008 that takes disaster recovery beyond the simple backup/recovery plan
When and why to use disaster recovery features, as opposed to just describing how they work

Who is this book for?

Increase Your Company's Odds of Surviving a Major Disaster

Powerful Earthquake Triggers Tsunami in Pacific. Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in the Gulf Coast. Avalanche Buries Highway in Denver. Tornado Touches Down in Georgia. These headlines not only have caught the attention of people around the world, they have had a significant effect on IT professionals as well.

As technology continues to become more integral to corporate operations at every level of the organization, the job of IT has expanded to become almost all-encompassing. These days, it's difficult to find corners of a company that technology does not touch. As a result, the need to plan for potential disruptions to technology services has increased exponentially.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) are emerging as the 'next big thing' in corporate IT circles. With distributed networks, increasing demands for confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, and the widespread risks to the security of personal, confidential and sensitive data, no organization can afford to ignore the need for disaster planning.

Trusted Recovery and Defensive Information Warfare (Kindle Edition)

2009-03-20T13:34:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Information security concerns the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information processed by a computer system. With an emphasis on prevention, traditional information security research has focused little on the ability to survive successful attacks, which can seriously impair the integrity and availability of a system. Trusted Recovery And Defensive Information Warfare uses database trusted recovery, as an example, to illustrate the principles of trusted recovery in defensive information warfare. Traditional database recovery mechanisms do not address trusted recovery, except for complete rollbacks, which undo the work of benign transactions as well as malicious ones, and compensating transactions, whose utility depends on application semantics. Database trusted recovery faces a set of unique challenges. In particular, trusted database recovery is complicated mainly by (a) the presence of benign transactions that depend, directly or indirectly on malicious transactions; and (b) the requirement by many mission-critical database applications that trusted recovery should be done on-the-fly without blocking the execution of new user transactions. Trusted Recovery And Defensive Information Warfare proposes a new model and a set of innovative algorithms for database trusted recovery. Both read-write dependency based and semantics based trusted recovery algorithms are proposed. Both static and dynamic database trusted recovery algorithms are proposed. These algorithms can typically save a lot of work by innocent users and can satisfy a variety of attack recovery requirements of real world database applications. Trusted Recovery And Defensive Information Warfare is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course in computer science, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in information security.

Product Description
Following is a sample of the information contained on this cd.. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to a clock data recovery circuit, more specifically, to a clock data recovery circuit to be used in SONET (Synchronous Optical Network)/SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) standards for optical communications networks.2. Description of the Related ArtThe American Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) was standardized in the mid 1980s by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to efficiently house a third group of circuits (45M bits/second) in optical fiber transmission lines and to form economical digital networks. Furthermore, Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is synchronous digital hierarchy specifications standardized as ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector) in 1988 based on SONET to unify digital hierarchies different among Japan, the USA, and Europe, and this SDH has realized building of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks on a global level.Generally, a conventional clock data recovery circuit retimes an input signal by using a clock extracted from the input signal itself, and outputs this retimed signal and the extracted clock. In a clock data recovery circuit used in the SONET/SDH, both an extracted clock that is an output signal from the clock data recovery circuit and output data must have characteristics satisfying the SONET/SDH standards. Particularly, in a digital communications system, excessive jitter causes an unallowable BER (bit error rate), so that a clock extracted from the clock data recovery circuit and output data must have jitter transfer characteristics and jitter tolerance, both of which satisfy the SONET/SDH standards.FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a general conventional clock data recovery circuit (Digest of Technical Papers, pp.251, FIG. 15.2.2, 2002 IEEE, International Solid-State Circuits Conference).

High Availability and Disaster Recovery: Concepts, Design, Implementation (Hardcover)

2009-03-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Companies and other organizations depend more than ever on the availability of their Information Technology, and most mission critical business processes are IT-based processes. Business continuity is the ability to do business under any circumstances and is an essential requirement modern companies are facing. High availability and disaster recovery are contributions of the IT to fulfill this requirement. And companies will be confronted with such demands to an even greater extent in the future, since their credit ratings will be lower without such precautions.

Both, high availability and disaster recovery, are realized by redundant systems. Redundancy can and should be implemented on different abstraction levels: from the hardware, the operating system and middleware components up to the backup computing center in case of a disaster. This book presents requirements, concepts, and realizations of redundant systems on all abstraction levels, and all given examples refer to UNIX and Linux systems.

Upgrading and Repairing Laptops (2nd Edition) (Upgrading and Repairing) (Paperback)

2007-10-02T16:22:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Laptops--call them notebooks, portable computers, or whatever else you like--are tightly engineered items. It's hard to get all the required components to obey stringent performance and power-management requirements, and still fit into a small case. The job usually requires a custom motherboard and other specialized components, and so the laptop owner who wants to upgrade his or her machine faces a much more difficult task than the owner of a desktop machine with a similar wish. One can swap out the hard drive, add more RAM, and make tweaks in software, but almost everything else requires the addition of external components, which kind of defeat the purpose of a laptop. That's the message the reader takes away from Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing Laptops. It's not Mueller's fault that such computers are hard to do much with, and that your best upgrade procedure is often a visit to an auction site.

That said, Mueller does a great job of explaining how laptops work--how the engineers went about cramming all those heat-generating components into those miniature chassis in the first place. He also explains a lot of interesting component theory, such as how magnetic hard drives store data and how various DVD standards differ. The information makes for good reading, and comes in handy when you're shopping. He also demonstrates his skill--long well-reputed among builders and repairers of desktop machines--in teaching diagnostics. He explains, for example, how to test a laptop power supply, and why you should consider it a prime suspect in a malfunctioning computer even if the LEDs come on and the cooling fan spins. A CD-ROM features videos that show disassembly procedures--a strategy that works better than photographs and numbered steps. --David Wall

Topics covered: How portable computers work (and sometimes fail to work), and how to diagnose their woes. Sections address general troubleshooting concepts, system disassembly, and various subsystems such as memory, CPU, storage, and video. Coverage of PCMCIA (PC Card) is particularly good. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Book Description

Scott Mueller has gone where no computer book author has gone before — right past all the warranty stickers, the hidden screws, and the fear factor to produce a real owner's manual that every laptop owner should have on his desk. Upgrading and Repairing Laptops, Second Edition shows the upgrades users can perform, the ones that are better left to the manufacturer, and how to use add-on peripherals to make the most of a laptop. This second edition has been updated to include:

The latest processors and motherboards
Complete assembly and disassembly information
Updated memory standards
Upgrading your hard drive to increase performance
Changes in networking and firewalls

The included DVD contains one-of-a-kind video showing just what's inside a portable PC. If you have ever wondered what goes on inside your portable PC, how to upgrade/repair it, or how to live on the road with it, this is the one must-have book of the year!

A Primer for Disaster Recovery Planning in an IT Environment (Paperback)

2007-10-02T16:01:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Since its births in the late 1970s, the business recovery industry has continued to broaden, moving from original batch application processing on mainframes to include recovery for telecommunications connectivity, distributed processing on mid-range systems, and most recently, network and work area recovery.

Whenever accidents, disasters and natural events interrupt business activities, one this is certain: businesses lose money. How much money often depends on how prepared companies are for dealing with business interruptions. A current, well-planned and well-rehearsed disaster recovery plan often spells the difference between smoothly and quickly returning to business as usual or reeling from the devastating repercussions for months or even years.

Any event that interrupts business due to the loss or denial of information required for normal operations qualifies as a disaster. A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a blueprint for recovering from these events. It does not seek to duplicate a business. Rather, its intent is to increase the chances of survival and to decrease the effects of the loss.

Disaster recovery planning is not a trivial process. In addition to the extensive set of tasks that should be performed, it is filled with potential pitfalls that even the best-meaning, intelligent people in the organization can overlook. Regardless of whether the plan is developed using internal expertise, external professionals can help. DRP is an essential process for companies. Simply put, it just might be a matter of corporate survival.

Besides the standard reasons, legal requirements, customer opinions, competitive edge, responsibility to stockholders and employees, and other frequently touted justifications, why bother with DRP? Disaster recovery and contingency planning are not just for big business. They are not just for data centers or networks. Every business including personal business can benefit from the reasons not often considered.

The basic elements preceding and supporting recovery preparedness make good and economic business sense. Usually with less start-up effort than anticipated, disaster recovery planning can improve the business, reduce recurring problems and, through reduced downtimes and better managed processes, should pay for itself.

From the Back Cover
As a novice in the disaster recovery planning arena, I very much appreciated the level of detail provided in each segment of the planning process. This primer is well written and easy reading, yet provides helpful statistics, survey results and many other supportive resources. As our unit is responsible for the coordination of testing our plan, I was interested in the 'plan the test' and 'test the plan' segments. I found it helpful. The way the author discussed not only types of tests and processes, but use of test results in the end. - Judith Johnson, Oregon Dept of Transportation
