BackCover

---

System backup is essential in any enterprise—protecting data is equivalent to protecting the company or agency. Whether you have the task of putting together a backup and recovery system for your organization or your are thinking about how backup and recovery fits within the scope of total data availability, Implementing Backup and Recovery is an invaluable resource. This detailed guide takes you through the necessary steps of deploying services by showing you how to address the architecture, limitations, and capabilities of the existing network infrastructure.

After an introduction to backup and recovery in the enterprise, Little and Chapa give a tutorial on the components of backup. Then, using VERITAS NetBackup as an example, they show you how to install and configure a backup application, and how to customize services to meet customer needs. Throughout the book, the authors use real-life client situations to explain specific concepts. In addition, you’ll also learn:

• The business and legal requirements of backup systems
• VERITAS NetBackup’s tiered architecture and configuration elements
• How to determine your need for additional backup services
• What the future holds for backup and recovery
