This Book Was a Team Effort
I have never worked with a group of people like the ones I work with at Collective Technologies. Over the past three years, they have answered question after question about the various ways to back up and recover just about everything under the sun. Thanks to them, there is information in this book that would never have been otherwise. They sent me manpages and verified syntax for commands on versions of Unix that I’ve never even seen. They entered into technical debates about how to compare the architectures of Informix, Oracle, and Sybase. They tested the programs that are included in this book and even wrote a few of them.
By far the greatest contribution that other people gave to this book is that several of the chapters were written by experts in a particular field. I realized about a year ago that I would never finish this book if I didn’t ask some of my friends to help. The result was that more than 20 percent of the final book ended up being written by people other than me. Their expertise in a particular area made their chapters far better than anything I could have written on my own. Having said that, please allow me to formally thank all of my coauthors:
- AIX bare-metal recovery
Charles Gagnon and Brian Jensen of Collective Technologies
- AMANDA
John R. Jackson and Alexandre Oliva from the AMANDA Core Development Team
- Clearcase backup and recovery
Bob Fulwiler of Seattle, Washington
- Compaq/Digital Unix bare-metal recovery
Matthew Huff of Collective Technologies ...
