Tech IT Out: Backup, DR & BCP Explained

Is Your Backup Strategy Really Protecting Your Business? Backup, DR & BCP Explained

In this episode, we discuss one of the most overlooked yet business-critical areas of IT: Backup, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity.

Backup is no longer just about recovering lost files. With ransomware attacks on the rise, increasing compliance requirements, and growing reliance on cloud services, organisations need a resilient strategy that enables them to recover quickly and keep the business running when the unexpected happens.

In this episode of Kromecast: Tech IT Out, Sam Mager is joined by Technical Director Ben Randall to explore the practical steps every organisation should be taking to strengthen its backup, disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

In this episode we cover:

• The difference between Backup, Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP)
• Why Microsoft 365 alone isn’t a complete backup solution How ransomware is changing modern backup strategies
• The importance of the 3-2-1 backup rule, immutable backups and air-gapped storage
• Understanding Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
• Best practices for restore testing, documentation and compliance
• Practical advice for building a resilient backup and recovery strategy that keeps your business protected

Whether you’re responsible for IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, or business resilience, this episode provides practical advice to help you strengthen your backup and recovery strategy and ensure your organisation is prepared for whatever comes next..
