1st April 2023 - Discussing World Backup Day on BBC Berkshire

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Vernon Harwood to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. World Backup Day reminds us all to make sure we have all those important files securely backed up in case our devices fail or fall foul to ransomware. What are the best ways to go about this? Plus one-time passwords, as used by the likes of Amazon and eBay, are in the news. These passwords are issued when the item is despatched, for you to give the driver upon delivery, but is this as secure as it should be, or is it open to abuse and leaving the customer vulnerable? How can we protect ourselves?First Gadget of the Week is the Crucial X8 External SSD. Available in 1, 2, and 4TB sizes, these extremely fast but small external USB-C solid state drives are an ideal way to back up all of those important files from a PC, laptop, phone, or tablet.Second Gadget of the Week is Synology DS220+ NAS Enclosure. This is a hard drive enclosure into which you fit 2, 4, or 8 standard hard drives, which then connects to your home or office network and allows you to back up and access enormous amounts of data safely and securely.Third Gadget of the Week are the Western Digital Red range of hard drives.
