From the Inside Flap
Preface
Backup and Restore Practices for Sun Enterprise Servers focuses on technologies available from Sun Microsystems? Incorporated, and includes detailed information on backup and restore practices using software products and Sun Enterprise servers running the SolarisTM operating environment.
This book takes a multifaceted approach to the topic, and includes case studies developed by interviewing IT staff at companies who run their core operations on Sun EnterpriseTM servers. It also contains a thorough and detailed methodology for planning and implementing a backup and restore architecture. To assist in the standardizing of daily backup and restore operations, appropriate sections of the book provide step-by-step procedures in runbook format.Who Should Use This Book
This book is intended for IT managers, system administrators, and database administrators involved in planning and implementing a backup and restore architecture in a networked environment using Sun Microsystems technologies.How This Book Is Organized
Chapter 1 provides a high-level overview of backup and restore issues from the managerial point of view, and includes a detailed description of the issues to be considered when purchasing a backup and restore software tool.
Chapter 2 provides a technical overview of the backup and restore technologies used within modern networked environments.
Chapter 3 presents case studies dealing with issues involved in planning and implementing a backup and restore architecture. These case studies can help broaden your understanding on a wide range of related topics.
Chapter 4 presents a thorough and detailed methodology to use when planning and implementing a backup and restore architecture. This information can be useful when formulating plans or proposals for submission to management, and can serve as a reference guide during the implementation phase.
Chapter 5 provides step-by-step procedures, in runbook format, that can be helpful in environments using Sun StorEdge Enterprise NetBackUpTM. Runbooks can be useful for standardizing and simplifying the day-to-day operations throughout an IT organization.
Chapter 6 describes a script contributed by Qualcomm Inc. that significantly speeds up Oracle database exports on symmetric multi-processing (SMP) machines. This script can enhance your options when performing regularly scheduled parallel exports of large databases that must be continuously available. The approach can deliver important benefits, including faster and less intrusive restores, and is a valuable addition to the standard `best practices' associated with an Oracle backup.
Appendix A describes a benchmark study that demonstrated Tbyte/hr. backup speeds using Sun technologies. The demonstration was performed jointly by Sun Microsystems, VERITAS Software Corp. Oracle Corp. and Storage Technology Corp. (STK).
Appendix B provides a brief overview of Sun technologies that are applicable to business continuity planning and disaster recovery. For more information on these topics, see the Sun BluePrintsTM book Business Continuity Planning with Sun Microsystems Technologies.Accessing Sun Documentation Online

2.0 out of 5 stars
for people new to backing up enterprise servers,
By Tom Baltes (Kenosha, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backup and Restore Practices for the Enterprise (Paperback)
If you are familiar with backing up Oracle databases using Veritas NetBackup or Legato Networker you probably have most of the knowledge in this book. I saw no surprises or neat little tricks. Probably good for operations managers who need a guide on backing up there enterprise database servers. You can get most of the information on this book off of the web. Save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars
misprint,
By A Customer
This review is from: Backup and Restore Practices for the Enterprise (Paperback)
I ordered 2 copies of this book and both were missing the first 17 pages! You flip the cover and bang, you're at page 18. So obviously this is not a review but more of a heads-up. I did complain to amazon twice, but I got no reply. Just be prepared to return it, in case its been misprinted.
