It’s that time of the year again where I ask my readers and the\u00a0NetWorker Community to spend a few minutes of their time answering some questions on how NetWorker is used within their environment. So your forbearance is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
Each year I pose this survey and run it\u00a0through from 1 December through to 31\u00a0January the\u00a0following year \u2013 a straight 2 months. This year there’s 23 questions – a slight expansion on previous years, but I want to try to start gathering a bit of data on a couple of other topics,\u00a0but I still believe this is something that will take no more than 5-10\u00a0minutes of your time. In return, you get to contribute to the NetWorker Usage Report that I generate in February each year. And\u00a0trust me, now that I work in EMC, I’m well aware of\u00a0how useful product managers find these reports, so this is\u00a0well and truly your\u00a0opportunity to provide real feedback as to how you use the product.<\/p>\n
Edit, December 2: Product management reached out to me and ask if I could ask about CloudBoost, so I’ve added a 24th question to the survey.<\/em><\/p>\n While the survey is anonymous, it does\u00a0offer a prompt for your to provide your email address, and\u00a0for this survey there’ll be a prize: a signed copy of my\u00a0upcoming book on Data Protection. This is a much broader tome of work than my previous book,\u00a0Enterprise Systems\u00a0Backup and Recovery, a Corporate Insurance Policy<\/em>. At the moment the book is still under development, but it\u00a0will<\/em> be published next year, and if you want to be in the running for the book, please\u00a0add your email address to the survey results. Your\u00a0email address will be kept confidential<\/strong>. (I’ll notify the winner individually and then once the book is published, contact the winner for shipping details.)<\/p>\n Edit: The survey is now closed. Thanks for\u00a0participating! Results coming in February 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s that time of the year again where I ask my readers and the\u00a0NetWorker Community to spend a few minutes…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,22],"tags":[1165,960],"class_list":["post-5755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-architecture","category-site","tag-networker-survey","tag-survey"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
