One of the most important (and often difficult) tasks an IT Pro faces is keeping up. New products, new technologies, and new techniques make for an ever-changing landscape, and the ability – and the need – to remain current is a hallmark of our profession. To that end, I’ve pulled together a list of some of my favorite resources, and some of my favorite people, all of which help me in my on-going efforts to stay ahead of the curve. This list certainly isn’t exhaustive; just like IT itself, it will continue to evolve. Have something you’d like to see added? There’s a place below you can recommend stuff to me! I’d love to hear from you. ~Josh

Latest eBook Chapter
Chapter 12: Tales from the Trenches: My Life with Backup 2.0
In the second chapter of this book, I shared with you some of the horror stories of Backup 1.0. I did so primarily as a way of highlighting how poorly our traditional backup techniques really meet our business needs. In this chapter, I want to do the opposite: share with you some stories of Backup 2.0, both from my own experience and from stories you readers have shared over the year‐long production of this book. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, of course, but I think you’ll find these to be compelling examples of how Backup 2.0 has been applied. Where possible, I’ll share information about the infrastructure that goes with these stories so that you can see some of the creative and innovative ways Backup 2.0 is being used in organizations like your own.
