Customer Reviews

Not a HandBook
Don't get carried away by the title descriptions "Hand book" and "step-by-step plan". If anyone is buying this book with an intention of developing a BCP/DR plan, implementing and testing it they will be disappointed. This book only helps to get an overview of BC/DR planning. I couldn't find anything readily usable in the companion CD. It contains a bunch of documents with one page and one table in it. You wouldn't find anything important and useful such as sample BC/DR plan, emergency response procedure and flow diagram.

Great Handbook. Extremely helpful for developing a DR plan.
I found the book extremely valuable in getting a disaster recovery plan developed. The book was very helpful in not only showing step-by-step HOW to put together our plan, but also did a great job in explaining WHY something should be in the plan. It also focused on the entire business, not just on technology as some other books on the subject do.

Very useful guide
As IT manager, I'm always looking for books that could help me to improve services... but this book help me to avoid or minimize the bad effects of problems qhen they take place.

The goal of the book is not to improve your process or your skills.. is to improve your protection, backup or restore systems and processes.
