Free Disaster Recovery: Principles and Practices
First, I worked for the major disaster recovery company and wrote their planning software along with a few others, so I do have an extensive background and know the material.
Of course this was years ago.
But the VA sent me to college and this was a required course so I had to use this book.
Second, the back of the book says this provides a complete course in developing and implementing a disaster recovery plan. Which is not true. Will you understand the concepts? yes the book does a good job at that. Will you be able to sit in a meeting and understand and contribute to your own companies disaster recovery planning? yep, and you will be in a position to actually be on the planning team.
But you will not be able to write one from this, well not an effective plan.
They do a very good job of underscoring the various aspects of the planning process. Their coverage of risk assessment is actually really good. ( the planning process is actually fairly standard, and the company I worked for originated alot of it. though there were competitiors who did have their own material. ).
They miss the mark a little with the recovery solutions and recovery strategies ( not sure they really even address it well in the book at all. ). The issue is that they seem to be vague on one page, and then very specific on the next. And they could have actually left the discussion at a high level and kept it philisophical.
There is a pretty good website with online material, the links they have to external resources is a little sketchy at times.
This is only 4 stars because the authors fail at one of the statements on the back flap, and that is teaching how to write a plan.
