Episode 24: What Black Sheep?

from 69 Admins

This week's episode opens with a quick discussion inspired by a post seen on the BlueSky social network. We are against bureaucrats of all types doing stupid, unthinking, uncaring things. We strongly support the Very Short Introduction series of books from Oxford University Press and encourage you to pick up an item from your local library to read today. We discussed a few news stories in this episode. We especially discussed why content creators should not be using Google at this time if they can help it.

The Backup Wrap-Up W. Curtis Preston (Mr. Backup) Formerly known as "Restore it All," The Backup Wrap-up podcast turns unappreciated backup admins into cyber recovery heroes. After a brief analysis of backup-related news, each episode dives deep into one topic that you can use to better protect your organization from data loss, be it from accidents, disasters, or ransomware. The Backup Wrap-up is hosted by W. Curtis Preston (Mr. Backup) and his co-host Prasanna Malaiyandi. Curtis' passion for backups began over 30 years ago when his employer, a $35B bank, lost its purchasing database – and the backups he was in charge of were worthless. After miraculously not being fired, he resolved to learn everything he could about a topic most people try to get away from. His co-host, Prasanna, saw similar tragedies from the vendor side of the house and also wanted to do whatever he could to stop that from happening to others.A particular focus lately has been the scourge of ransomware that is plaguing IT organizations across the globe.
