We say it all the time: your backup requirements must be based on business/organizational needs. If you keep that mind, not only will your organization be better off, it'll be easier to get approval for the new backup system you want. This episode of our Backup to Basics series goes right to that core idea, and we get advice directly from one of our favorite guests: Jeff Rochlin. He is now the Head of Technical Operations at the LA Studio of Framestore, a visual effects company. In his 30+ year career he has designed and implemented dozens of systems (at least one of them with Mr. Backup). He shares with us his tips on how to design the system AND how to get it approved. If you'd like to see what Jeff and Curtis do for fun, check out their other podcast, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-things-that-entertain-us/id1619856804" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Things That Entertain Us.</a>

Getting approval for a new backup design (Backup to Basics Series)

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.  That's why in addition to backup and disaster recovery, we also touch on information security techniques you can use to protect your backup systems from ransomware.  If you'd like to go from being unappreciated to being a cyber recovery hero, this is the podcast for you.
