What you need for this book

For this book to be of value, you will need an open mind to absorb and interpret the advice and experience of the authors with regard the SharePoint topics that each chapter addresses. This is the key, because the book's emphasis is on planning, managing, and supporting SharePoint DR rather than proactive survival using step-by-step technical tasks.

You will also need the ability to reapply information given in the chapter topics to your deployed SharePoint environment. This information is not always going to be 100 percent relevant to how your organization works with the SharePoint technology, so not everything should be taken literally. The authors view this information as a guide to what the reader needs to do, and not as the truth itself. To become experienced with DR you must experience the truth, not just blindly accept what you read.
