I believe Dave Little and Dave Chapa are/were frequent visitors. In fact
Curtis's appearance is relatively new, considering how long he's been
doing backups. :) :) IMHO.

There is no bible; the topic is too broad and in flux too much for their

to be a "bible", IMHO.

That written, I like (the four year old) Little & Chapa Wiley 
publication "Implementing Backup and Recovery: The Readiness Guide for 
the Enterprise", as well as Preston's new O'Riley publication "Backup 
and Recovery", not to be confused with his older work "UNIX Backup and 
Recovery".

As Curtis Preston spends a considerable amount of his time here on this 
mailing list and on his backupcentral.com web site helping us smucks do 
a better job for our institutions, ... if you buy just one, buy "Backup 
and Recovery". :-)

cheers, wayne
