The NetWorker Journal
-
This is a new resource (Jan
01), but it promises five issues a year for a subscription cost of $300.

it, given the importance of your data, and the amount of money you are
already spending on backup and recovery.

It may be my newsfeed, but I
have found this to be a very low-volume newsgroup. Less than 10 posts a
day. The FAQ for this group (which was last updated in 1998) can be found
on Deja.com at http://www.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=316722147&CONTEXT=953588547.688717851&hitnum=3

Secured. This security also

directory, I had to go to a site outside our corporate firewall & do
the upload from there.
