Reload your RSS Feed
The new layout of Backup Central forced me to switch RSS feeders. Unfortunately, this means that those of who are are subscribing to the Backup Central RSS feed will have to delete your old feed and load the new feed. Otherwise, you won’t get any of the new Mr. Backup blog posts. I apologize for any inconvenience.
New Front Page!
The front page of Backup Central now has small articles like this one to point you to what’s happening all over the site, instead of just blogs from Mr. Backup. The blog is still here, and it can be reached from the main menu, or by clicking this link. We also still have our Product Directories, FAQs, Forums, & Mailing Lists, all of which are also accessible from the menus above.

Product Directories
From deduplication hardware to backup software, we’ve got a product directory for it. The best part is that they’re all hosted in MediaWiki (just like Wikipedia) so you can update them as you see fit! If there’s a missing or outdated product, just click Edit!
Select “Product Directories” from the menu above to visit one of our directories. If you’d like to help maintain them, just get yourself a free Backup Central User ID and click Edit.

User-Contributed FAQs
Backup Central hosts the official NetWorker FAQ & NetBackup FAQs, as well as an unofficial TSM FAQ. They’re in a MediaWiki, just like Wikipedia uses. This means that users just like you can update the entries as they see fit. If you see an entry that needs updating, just click Edit!
Select “FAQs” from the menu above to select one of our FAQs, or get yourself a free Backup Central User ID if you’d like to help maintain them!
Mr. Backup Blog
The Mr. Backup Blog is where I put all my thoughts about backup, archive, and deduplication software and hardware — as well as a few other bits and bytes thrown in. There’s also usually lively comments from Backup Central users.
Try Our Forums and Mailing Lists
Backup Central has 17 searchable forums with over 140,000 posts, and each forum is linked to a mailing list. (You can access the same people and see the same questions and answers on either the forums or the mailing lists).
