Smashing Security #123: Backups - a necessary evil?

With Graham incapacitated, we drag an episode out from the archives. In this special “splinter” episode of the “Smashing Security” podcast from September 2017 we tackle the tricky subject of backups – When did you last backup your data? How and what should you backup? And where should you store them?

Lots of questions and Graham gets to do his Tina Turner impression.

All this and more is discussed in this edition of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Maria Varmazis.
