5 - A Must Have Book for IT Pro's
Business continuity and disaster recovery are hot topics in IT these days and with good reason. The problem is, no one who actually works IN IT has time to deal with it. Enter Susan Snedaker's new book. I'm a big fan of Ms. Snedaker's, I own her book on IT Project Management and have used it to train my staff on how to manage IT projects. So, I'm already biased toward her books - but even so, this is a great book because, like her other books, she provides the big picture and the details in a really readable style. She starts out discussing the environment surrounding IT and the various kinds of disasters businesses face. Then, she takes the reader step-by-step through the process of planning for a disaster and how to recover the business in the event of a disaster.

One feature that I especially like are the sections by specialists - an attorney talks about data security and legal issues, there's a discussion about the financial impact of a business disaster and another section by a PR expert who discusses how to manage a disaster in terms of PR. These are nice add-ons that I haven't found in other books of this kind - which is why I bought this one and not one of the other ones out there.

Granted, many of us will never get through all the planning steps in the book, but at least you have the checklists to help you through it. These lists also provide a great reality check. The bottom line is this: protect the data you have today then create your more extensive disaster plan. Along the way, be sure you maintain compliance with whatever regulations your company or industry is subject to. If you want the checklists and details that will help you do these things, buy the book. It's the cheapest insurance you can buy.
