Just a reminder, particularly if you’re new to this blog, that if you’re after some more in-depth coverage of backups, you could check out my book, Enterprise Systems Backup and Recovery: A corporate insurance policy. While not specifically focusing on any individual backup product, the book covers a plethora of topics that are important and useful for any backup environment, including but not limited to:
- Human involvement in the backup system;
- Backup concepts – from the basic to the advanced;
- Items for consideration when planning what to backup, and how to do it;
- Performance tuning a backup environment;
- Procedures and policies to follow for recoveries, disaster recoveries, testing and maintenance;
- and so on.
(More complete details of the book can be found at my Enterprise Systems Backup site.)
