Many would argue that the single, most important job of a SQL
Server database administrator is to be able to recover your
database in the event of loss or damage. Pro SQL Server Disaster
Recovery helps you meet that goal by showing you how to think about
and plan for potential problems. You'll learn to anticipate and
reduce the likelihood of a disaster, and to mitigate the effects of
a disaster when one does occur. Perhaps most importantly, you'll
learn how to prepare so that you can return a system to its normal
state quickly, ensuring system availability and the continued
success and operation of your business.
Many SQL Server features and technologies are, or can be put to
good use in disaster recovery planning. In this book, you'll learn
about powerful tools and features -- such as Database Snapshots and
Mirroring -- for data backup and disaster recovery that are present
in SQL Server 2005, and that are enhanced in SQL Server 2008. Also
covered are common issues to expect when using these features. This
book explores your options by examining the technical details of
disaster recovery features and then applying that knowledge to
practical scenarios.
There's a human side to disaster recovery planning as well. Like
few other activities, disaster recovery planning requires that you
work closely with a wide variety of people from all across your
organization. People skills are as critical to disaster recovery
planning as technical skills, and perhaps more so. This book does
not leave you in the dark, but provides sound advice on how to keep
disaster recovery planning projects on track, how to avoid
dangerous scope creep, and how to work effectively with the variety
ofpersonality types that you will encounter.
Disaster recovery planning is really about sleep. When you get
the call at 3: 00 am that your database is lost, don't wake up with
that icy feeling in your veins. Instead wake up with confidence
that you have a plan in place, a plan that you've practiced, that
management has bought into, a plan that you can execute even while
half-asleep to get your database, your company, and your job back
on track. What you'll learn

recovery strategy for SQL Server 2005 databases. It covers:
