This book covers new developments in data protection as well as the impact of single-instance storage upon backup infrastructures. It discusses the impact of backup and data replication, the often misapplied B2D and D2D strategies, and "tapeless" backup environments. Continuous data protection and remote replication strategies are also addressed as they are integrated within backup strategies--a very important topic today.

• Learn backup solution design regardless of specific backup software
• Design realistic recovery solutions
• Take into account new data protection standards and the impact of data replication
