Most labor under the pretense that good administration equals close to five-nines uptime.

- Ways to respond to a disaster while it is happening
- Perhaps most importantly, how to develop a plan to deal with disaster when it inevitably does happen
What you'll learn With Pro SharePoint Disaster Recovery and High Availability, Second Edition, learn and discover: - How to build resilience and high availability into your systems to make them less likely to fail
- How to use technologies like log shipping, clustering and mirroring to replicate data
- How to use redundancy of web front-ends, service applications and other parts of your SharePoint farm to prevent failure
- How companies that realize the cost of disasters create processes to prevent them by tracking and responding to "near-misses"
- How to implement the right monitoring tools to ensure you are alerted to impending problems as soon as possible
- How to diagnose and repair broken systems, and develop processes to ensure you have backups and a place to restore them to if all else fails
Who this book is for If you worry about what would happen to your organization if what is in your SharePoint farm was lost, this book is for you.
