For Immediate Release
Realtime Publishers and AppAssure Release
The Definitive Guide to Windows Application and Server Backup 2.0
Microsoft MVP Don Jones proposes a new "Backup 2.0" way of thinking for backing up Windows applications and servers
San Francisco, California, July 24, 2009—Realtime Publishers, the leader in online publishing for the IT industry, and AppAssure, a leading provider of innovative backup and disaster recovery software purpose-built for Windows applications, announced the immediate release of The Definitive Guide to Windows Application and Server Backup 2.0, written by IT author and Microsoft MVP Don Jones. In this excellent new eBook, Don examines the true business needs behind backup (namely, quick recovery and as little lost work as possible), and proposes new techniques - using leading-edge technologies that are available today - that do a better job of meeting today's business and technology needs. With special chapters devoted to Exchange Server, SQL Server, virtualization, and SharePoint, you'll learn about new techniques and technologies designed to take backups out of the 1960’s and into the 21st century.
“We've been doing backups basically the same way for more than three decades. Even the medium of choice—magnetic tape—hasn’t really changed much. That ‘Backup 1.0’ mentality doesn't actually buy us much, though. We still have lengthy backup windows, lengthy restore times, difficult bare-metal recovery, and other downsides,” explains author Don Jones. “It's time to rethink all that: I call it Backup 2.0. In The Definitive Guide to Windows Application and Server Backup 2.0, we look at what works and what doesn't, what we'd love to have in an environment, and what technologies exist today to make it a reality.”
