Disasters, by their very nature, cannot be predicted, in either their intensity, timing, or effects. However, all enterprises can and should prepare for whatever might happen in order to protect themselves against loss of data or, worse, their entire business.

This book is written for any computing professional who is concerned about protecting their data and enterprise from disaster. It assumes you have basic knowledge of storage technologies and products, in particular, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.
