Features: This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and it is also a rare reference for researchers and engineering technicians engaged in information system security research. The book focuses on:
- How to develop a successful disaster recovery plan
- Analyzing technical and material risks, including equipment protection
- Choosing the correct host backup strategy
- Preparing preventive technologies for network-based distributed backup systems
- New technologies and strategies for end-user data recovery
- Making emergency decisions and restoring project teams
- Testing and updating plans to adapt to organizational and technological changes
With the increasingly widespread application of information technology in various fields, the importance of information security has gradually become a focal point of attention, just as the construction of information systems itself. Information system disaster recovery is not merely about data recovery and system recovery for information systems, but rather a survival plan for the entire enterprise. It will face threats and challenges from all sides, including fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, computer viruses, network intrusions, power failures, communication failures, human errors, and even terrorist attacks. Disaster recovery focuses not on the disasters themselves, but on methods for preventing and responding to disasters. Disaster recovery relies on trained personnel and a well-designed recovery plan. Without software engineering development, projects may get stuck in the mud; without a recovery plan, disaster recovery may face catastrophic consequences. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and it is also a rare reference for researchers and engineering technicians engaged in information system security research.
