Win a $50 Amazon Gift Voucher

I never thought of such an idea

I would also like to here about such websites

Two of my favorites are:

http://www.infostor.com/index/backup-and_recovery.html

and

www.acronis.com

These 2 are very handy in keeping up with what is going on out there.

I'd like to present my Russian blog on backup and recovery and NetBackup in particular - http://bancal.livejournal.com/

I hope it would be handy for Russian-speaking guys.

Do you have a favorite website that you visit for all your Backup and Recovery news?

Frankly I only see the Veritas Netbackup Server news as far as the Backup and Recovery news are concern and the best place for this is ( https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/ )  ... But nowadays I also started using Symantec Enablement Toolkit 3 to see the news of symantec under Home => Latest News.... 

Or do you have a collection of websites / blogs / social media websites that you visit to get the latest scoop on IT trends, backup and recovery news, future product releases, product reviews and industry trends? 

(  I some times got help from these sites too )

I am not able to send email to your above BLOG link Kate Lewis and send an email

I use http://www.backupcentral.com/ for keeping up to date on the latest backup information

Also use EMC's website http://www.emc.com/solutions/business-need/backup-recovery-archiving/backup-recovery.htm for Avamar backup which is our primary backup for our Environment

@zahid, I checked the "mailto" links and they seem to work just fine.But here is the email address in case you still have trouble with those links..kate_lewis@symantec.com.

Hello. I prefer www.backupcentral.com and lists.techtarget.com. They always have up to date news and useful guides.

I use http://www.freshnews.org as a jumping off place for grabbing current IT news, reviews and product information. It has something for everyone, Linux, Mac & Windows.

http://saifulaziz.wordpress.com contains important techtips and more data regarding tape librarys

Great Stuff guys.
