PRNewswire: Curtis Preston Authors New O’Reilly Book; ‘Unix Backup & Recovery’

“One of the latest additions to the O’Reilly & Associates’
family of technical reference books is Unix Backup & Recovery,
written by W. Curtis Preston, a principal consultant with
Collective Technologies. Collective Technologies is the recognized
leader in providing IT infrastructure services and e-business
support solutions for enterprise computing environments. Unix
Backup & Recovery provides a complete overview of all facets of
Unix backup and recovery, and offers practical, affordable backup
and recovery solutions for environments of all sizes and budgets.
The book begins with detailed explanations of the native backup
utilities available to the Unix administrator, and ends with
practical advice on choosing a commercial backup utility.“

“This book was really a ‘Collective’ effort,” said author W.
Curtis Preston. “By that, I mean much of the material for the book
was provided by other Collective Technologies consultants via the
Collective Intellect(TM).” The Collective Intellect(TM), in
essence, is a unique and powerful “brain trust” for resolving
systems management issues, encouraging the sharing of information
so that any Collective Technologies consultant, anywhere in the
world, can effectively address a client’s systems management
concerns. “Backed by the years of accumulated experience and
knowledge of Collective Technologies’ professional consultants,
made writing this book much easier. On my own, this would have
taken years to research,” said Preston.”
