Just by telling their story, Srini_Ris and deepakf won enough Connect Rewards points for a Hawaiian cruise! Aloha guys and congrats! All of the submissions shared great experiences and valuable insights. And since we suspect some of you may now be experiencing a pang of regret for not submitting during our last contest, as you think those tropical breezes, we are pleased to announce we are launching a second version and you have until July 31st to participate.

Have you migrated from another product to one of Symantec’s backup or security products? We want to hear about it—and just for entering you’ll receive up to 1,000 Connect Rewards points. (That's way more than a normal submission.) And if you have the best story, as determined by a panel of Symantec experts, you will receive the grand prize of 25,000 Connect Rewards points. (Yep, you guessed it…enough for the cruise!)

Check out all the details for the Backup and Archiving contest here.

Awesome!

Crongrats and have fun with those points!

Quick question, who were the runners up?
"Symantec will also award runners up with additional bonus points redeemable for a 32GB iPod Touch, a Amazon’s Kindle Reader, or a Canon PowerShot D10 12.1MP digital camera"

Not that giving out 25,000 points wasn't enough or anything :-)
