Packed with practical, freely-available backup and
recovery solutions for Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac OS X
systems - as well as various databases - this new guide
is a complete overhaul of Unix Backup & Recovery by
the same author, now revised and expanded with over 75
per cent new material. ''Backup & Recovery'' starts
with a complete overview of backup philosophy and
design, including the basic backup utilities of tar,
dump, cpio, ntbackup, ditto, and rsync. It then explains
several open source backup products that automate
backups using those utilities, including AMANDA, Bacula,
BackupPC, rdiff-backup, and rsnapshot. ''Backup &
Recovery'' then explains how to perform bare metal
recovery of AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, VMWare,
& Windows systems using freely-available utilities.
The book also provides overviews of the current state of
the commercial backup software and hardware market,
including overviews of CDP, Data De-duplication, D2D2T,
and VTL technology. Finally, it covers how to automate
the backups of DB2, Exchange, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL,
SQL-Server, and Sybase databases - without purchasing a
commercial backup product to do so.For environments of
all sizes and budgets, this unique book shows you how to
ensure data protection without resorting to expensive
commercial solutions. You will soon learn to: automate
the backup of popular databases without a commercial
utility; perform bare metal recovery of any popular open
systems platform, including your PC or laptop; utilize
valuable but often unknown open source backup products;
understand the state of commercial backup software,
including explanations of CDP and data de-duplication
software; and access the current state of backup
hardware, including Virtual Tape Libraries
(VTLs). |
