It would be tempting to make all sorts of snide comments about a Dummies book that wants to take a serious look at disaster recovery of your IT area. But this is a Dummies title that you'll actually go back to a number of times if you're responsible for making sure your organization survives a disaster... IT Disaster Recovery Planning for Dummies by Peter Gregory. It's actually the first book on the subject that I found interesting *and* readable to an average computer professional.
Contents:
Part 1 - Getting Started with Disaster Recovery: Understanding Disaster Recovery; Bootstrapping the DR Plan Effort; Developing and Using a Business Impact Analysis
Part 2 - Building Technology Recovery Plans: Mapping Business Functions to Infrastructure; Planning User Recovery; Planning Facilities Protection and Recovery; Planning System and Network Recovery; Planning Data Recovery; Writing the Disaster Recovery Plans

This is a well written, fact filled book with a pinch of humor. Peter does an excellent job explaining disaster recovery that even management will 'get it!' This book will guide even the most novice systems administrator through the process of planning and executing a DR plan. Once business, that relies on computing, discovers this book, it will become mandatory reading.
As a International Technical Coordinator, I work with hundreds of collaborative sites, most in 3rd world nations.
This book has helped me with being able to present recommendations, with common ideas/scenarios, on protecting the site's data...especially sites with very little to no technical expertise.

Disaster Recovery is really about the ability to maintain business as usual - or as close to 'as usual' as is feasible and justifiable - whatever gets thrown at IT.
Unfortunately, too many data center managers have not been able to effectively address disaster recovery, whether because of lack of management commitment, lack of knowledge or lack of resources. By effectively, I mean:
- a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, based on objective assessment of threats, vulnerabilities and exposure to loss;
- integration with comprehensive enterprise business continuity programs so that IT Disaster Recovery is consistent with overall business needs and priorities; and,
- a meaningful exercise program, combined with training and plan maintenance ... Read More
