A Great Enterprise Storage Reference

I normally don't write reviews but fealt compelled after seeing someone only give this book 2 stars. Personally, I love this book. While it could have spent hundreds of pages on SAN and NAS concepts, I did not think that the authors wanted to, nor did I buy the book to learn about SAN and NAS exclusively. I thought that the book delivered on its promise, which was to clearly identify Microsoft network storage. The book has a "Gotchas" chapter that shows many of the Microsoft backup and recovery pitfalls, and I found the Exchange and SQL backup and recovery chapters very useful is well. This is a great book for anyone that is new to storage management, or has been managing enterprise backup and recovery for some time. For me, learning about a single Windows 2000 gotcha that could save me in a disaster recovery scenario is worth the price of the book, let alone the hundreds of gotchas presented.
