I feel that the review posted here by " Anonymous Reader" was a bit unfair. His or her's major issue with the book is that it doesn't lend itself to mainstream consumers. This is true, but then is the targeted audience of the book the average home or SOHO user. Probably not. Most people won't need the information contained in the text to protect the data stored on one or at most, a small handful of PCs from a crash.


I stand by the review I wrote on Preston's book for the Linux Tutorial site. You can find it here:

"...if there was any important aspect the author missed, I didn't find it. For the vast majority of systems, this book is travel guide, companion, and bible - all rolled into one."
