and Recovery offers a no-
nonsense approach to one
of the most critical tasks of an operational
DBA—performing, testing, and verifying

is key to ensuring that the important busi-
ness information that has been backed up
and the method used to recover it will meet
business needs. The book drills down into
real-world problems and provides succinct,
proven formulas for achieving faster backups
and gaining greater overall understanding of
the systems—regardless of the DBA’s experi-
ence level. The book includes a “Five Minute
DBA” chapter that presents a real-world sce-
nario and the correct way to manage it.
