I saw that some of you have already snuck in and seen this. A new draft
redbook (aka redpiece) is up on theRedbooks website, entitled "Disaster
Recovery Strategies with Tivoli Storage Management", SG24-6844. Search on
SG24-6844 at www.ibm.com/redbooks, or go directly to
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/pdfs/sg246844.pdf for now. It still
has some formatting/typo errors, however I expect the edited version (real
redbook) to be available within the next 4 to 6 weeks. I hope you will find
it useful.
Here's the abstract of the book
Disasters, by their very nature, cannot be predicted, in either their
intensity, timing or effects. However, all enterprises can, and should
prepare themselves for whatever might happen in order to protect themselves
against loss of data, or worse, their entire business. It is too late to
start preparing after a disaster occurs. This book will help you protect
against a disaster - taking you step by step through the planning stages,
with templates for sample documents. It explores the role that IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager plays in disaster protection and recovery - from both the
client and server side. Plus, it describes basic sample procedures for bare
metal recovery of some popular operating systems - Windows 2000, AIX,
Solaris and Linux.
This redbook is organized in two parts: the general Disaster Recovery
Planning process is presented in Part 1. It shows the relationship (and
close interconnection) of Business Continuity Planning with Disaster
Recovery Planning. It also describes how you might set up a Disaster
Recovery Plan test. Various general techniques and strategies for
protecting your enterprise are presented. Part 2 focuses on the practical -
how to use IBM Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager to create an auditable and
easily executed recovery plan for your TSM server. It also shows approaches
for bare metal recovery on different client systems.
This redbook is written for any computing professional who is concerned
about protecting their data and enterprise from disaster. It assumes basic
knowledge of storage technologies and products, in particular, of IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager.
