Backup & Recovery
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% 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
Access the current state of backup hardware, including
Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs)
