Overview of this book

Where does it all go wrong with disaster recovery? Yes, why a disaster recovery plan fails the business and costs IT staff their jobs or a promotion? This book is an easytounderstand guide that explains how to get it right and why it often goes wrong. Given that Microsoft's SharePoint platform has become a missioncritical application where business operations just cannot run without complete uptime of this technology, disaster recovery is one of the most important topics when it comes to SharePoint. Yet, support and an appropriate approach for this technology are still difficult to come by, and are often vulnerable to technical oversight and assumptions. Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Disaster Recovery Guide looks at SharePoint disaster recovery and breaks down the mystery and confusion that surrounds what is a vital activity to any technical deployment. This book provides a holistic approach with practical recipes that will help you to take advantage of the new 2013 functionality and cloud technologies. You will also learn how to plan, test, and deploy a disaster recovery environment using SharePoint, Windows Server, and SQL tools. We will also take a look at datasets and custom development. If you want to have an approach to disaster recovery that gives you peace of mind, then this is the book for you.

Summary


The big win of this book is that there should be no surprises for either the business or IT, when the DR plan does not or does work. In short, plan for the best and be prepared for the worst.

In this chapter, you have been introduced to some concepts and ideas of how to apply the knowledge gained from this book with your DR initiative.

As ever, we hope that you will be as impressed as we are with Microsoft's SharePoint 2013 backup and restore procedures, and understand the challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities of deploying and managing a DR plan. More than that, we hope that you have enjoyed not just this chapter, but also the book, and that it has helped you further understand SharePoint from a DR standpoint.

With any technology initiative. you end up with one of two things: the results of a project or the reasons why you don't have the results. Results don't have to be explained; they just are the way they are.

All the writers of this book believe a great technical book should do...
