There has never been a Disaster Recovery manual like this. 100 Success Secrets is not about the ins and outs of Disaster Recovery. Instead, it answers the top 100 questions that we are asked and those we come across in forums, our consultancy and education programs. It tells you exactly how to deal with those questions, with tips that have never before been offered in print. This book is also not about Disaster Recovery's best practice and standards details. Instead it introduces everything you want to know to be successful with Disaster Recovery.
