Firstly, to give context - IT is a rapidly changing field. It's hard to write a book that
is relevant now and stays relevant for the next 5 years when even the fundamentals of
the field change within a few years and in technology advances in unpredictable ways
making previously exotic backup strategies commonplace.

Secondly, to the strengths of the book. There were a dozen different few instances where I
appreciated Mr Nelson's pains to point out and clarify areas of common confusion - difference
between differentials and incrementals and levels, archive v backup, dedupe v SIS. Understanding
those differences sets apart the professional from the dabbler.
He also spends a large amount of time on concepts and definitions that will stay relevant, and
teaches how to evaluate trade-off situations. These will be universally useful.
I also like the fact that he refers to explicit products (and the he breaks that into chapters
so people can choose to skip sections irrelevant to them) to give concrete value to his information.

However, there are several instances where I was frustrated by the opposite - confusing
the notation of Mbit network rate with MB transfer rates to disk. Giving DLT data in the marketing
terms - estimated speeds and capacity after compression rather than uncompressed, or when he gives
a warning on how NOT to apply a formula for estimating the number of drives- then seems to do do
precisely what he warned us nOT to do.

Lastly, the book is not aimed at backup professionals who want to sharpen their skills, but
at entry-to-midlevel backup folks who need some a referesher on RAID levels/tape capacity/architecture.

first part is terribly boring, could be condensed in very few pages.
The second part give a few nice hints about setting up a system with Netbackup.
It's a good "first book" to read for an overall view about setting up backup system.

Exactly the right amount of detail to give a good understanding of Backup and recovery techniques.
If you need more detail than this then you might as well just get out the tech manuals from your software supplier or open a ticket with tech support. Very well written.

I believe this informational book is way over my head. It was written by a scholar, that's for sure, and I'm only sorry I can't comprehend quite a bit of it. But, to anyone who has the ability to understand all that, the book is very well written.
