    Rating: 5 - The Computer Backup Book
    This is *THE* Computer System backup book. It contains all the basics of why you want to backup computer systems, plus many of the real world experience details. It is written from a Unix perspective, but is still applicable to Windows and other non-Unix environments.

    I've been using this book as a general guide for several years now. It was a book I watched work it's way through the O'Reilly system from first announcement to general release. I bought it when it first came out. I have not been disappointed in it.

    Many people think of computer system backups as a dry old musty topic of interest to nobody in particular. But 9/11 showed how important good disaster recovery planning and procedures could be to a business.

    Some of the specifics are now a little out of date, but not by leaps and bounds. It is still very good for its core reason for being - Backups. It is very much less out of date than other computer books on the market today.

    I have been dealing with large-scale computer system backups and disaster recovery for large employers for years... and I still consult this book regularly to make sure have not missed anything important. It covers all the topics you need.

    Rating: 5 - I had almost no experience with *nix
    Even though I was still very new to Linux/UNIX, this book was able to help me create a fully automated backup routine as well as how to restore from those backups. I found the book very easy to read and not at all dry.

    Rating: 5 - A Must-have!
    I had just bought this book and had thumbed through the chapters a little and read about the first two chapters. One of my systems experienced a hard crash one night and I could not get the Oracle database to come back up. Knowing basically nothing about Oracle and unable to contact the DBA or the Support people, I remembered this book had a chapter on Oracle recovery. Needless to say, it worked. If someone like myself who had never worked with Oracle before was able to use this book to easily recover a database, anyone can. The author explains about native backup utilities, databases, structures, etc on an easily understandable level. He constantly adds notes from his experiences that add enormous value to the test. Buy this Book!
