79. Your Backup Strategy Is Probably Broken (And It Will Cost You)

Episode notes

Hosts: Justin Shelley - Mario Zaki - Bryan Lachapelle - Think your business is protected because you're paying for IT services? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, three cybersecurity experts share real horror stories of backup failures that cost businesses everything - from tape backups that never worked to QuickBooks files that vanished when needed most. You'll discover why modern backups are more complex than ever (hint: your data isn't just on one server anymore), what immutable storage means for your protection, and the critical difference between having backups and having backups that actually work when disaster strikes. The hosts walk you through a practical framework for auditing your current backup strategy, testing it properly, and creating manual processes to keep your business running during recovery. Plus, learn why some businesses can survive ransomware attacks while others are devastated - and which category you're currently in. Whether you're relying on "my IT guy handles that" or managing backups yourself, this episode will either confirm you're truly protected or expose dangerous gaps before they cost you your business.
