Backup and Recovery »

W. Curtis Preston has specialized in designing data protection systems since 1993, and has designed such systems for many environments, both large and small. His lively prose and wry, real-world approach has made him a popular author and speaker.

Packed with practical, affordable backup and recovery solutions for UNIX, Linux, Windows, and the Mac OS X system—as well as various databases—this new guide is a complete overhaul of the author's strong-selling "UNIX Backup & Recovery," now revised and expanded with over 40 percent new material.
