This book is divided into three logical sections: the backup/recovery process, various disaster mitigation techniques, and practical tips for approaching disaster recovery within your own environment. The backup/recovery process is a necessary component to any disaster recovery plan. Disaster mitigation techniques, such as database mirroring, are powerful yet optional. Determining how backup/recovery and mitigation play in to your own disaster recovery plan (and how to create that plan) means the difference between a successful plan and losing your job.
