Books Worth Reading

No single book can tell the whole story of anything. This is especially true of a multidisciplinary subject such as data protection. Following is a list of some of the books that I refer to on a regular basis. Some provide more detail on specific subjects; others, simply a different point of view.

  • Building Storage Networks, by Marc Farley (Osborne/McGraw-Hill). This book is still one of the most comprehensive tomes on storage technology. It is a soup-to-nuts reference book on all things storage, especially storage networks.

  • Using SANs and NAS, by Curtis Preston (O'Reilly). Short and concise, this book's strength is its excellent explanation of backup and restore.

  • The Essential Guide to Telecommunications
