 Not a HandBookNov 15, 2005
By Firosh C. Ummer
"Firo."
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.Jan 11, 2006
By Aaron M. Olney
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.

Easy to read and very insightfullJan 02, 2005
By D. L. Henthorn
This book reminds me what effects an extended outage can have. I was able to find at least one item in every chapter of this book that I could easily and cheaply implement, that not only saved me money, but allowed me to better ensure my business will continue to function in the event of serious unplanned outage.

Very useful guideJun 07, 2007
By Jaime Eloy Sotelo Ramirez
"Chock"
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.
