In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, Curtis and Prasanna discuss how to choose the best password manager in light of recent security breaches. They examine the LastPass hack that resulted in $150 million of stolen cryptocurrency and what that teaches us about password manager security.

The hosts break down the critical security features to look for in the best password manager, including encryption strength, iteration counts, multi-factor authentication options, and passkey support. They emphasize that even with the LastPass breach, using a password manager is still far safer than not using one at all.

This episode provides practical guidance on evaluating password manager security beyond the standard feature comparisons, with specific recommendations for cryptocurrency users and insights into the technical aspects of password vault protection.

46:21

This episode explores surprising cyber security lessons hidden within Mission: Impossible's latest blockbuster. We analyze how Hollywood's depiction of AI threats, immutable backups, and air-gapped storage actually reflects real-world data protection challenges. Curtis and Prasanna dissect the movie's central premise: an AI entity altering digital reality, making it impossible to distinguish truth from fiction. The solution? An underwater Doomsday Vault containing an immutable, offline backup of the original source code. We discuss how this fictional scenario mirrors actual cybersecurity best practices, from 3-2-1 backup strategies to cryptographic hash verification. Key topics include the spectrum of immutability, why truly offline storage matters for ransomware protection, and how insider threats can compromise even the most secure systems. We also cover practical applications like object storage, SHA-256 hashing, and the human vulnerabilities that often undermine technical security measures. Whether you're a backup professional or just curious about data protection, this episode proves that sometimes the best cyber security lessons come from the most unexpected places.…

The EU cloud exit movement is reshaping how European organizations think about data storage and sovereignty. Companies across Europe are moving away from US-based cloud providers like Microsoft 365, AWS, and Google Workspace due to concerns about the Cloud Act and data privacy regulations. In this episode, Curtis and Prasanna explore the backup implications of this major shift. They discuss the challenges of replacing comprehensive platforms like Microsoft 365 with multiple EU-based providers, the complexities of bringing services back in-house, and why the 3-2-1 backup rule becomes even more critical during these transitions. Whether organizations choose local providers or decide to self-host their infrastructure, data protection remains paramount. The hosts share real-world examples of failed backup strategies, including the Rackspace Exchange disaster and OVH's data center fire, to illustrate why third-party backup solutions are necessary regardless of your hosting choice.…

What Is an Air Gap Backup? Real Protection vs Marketing 33:32

22 روز پیش33:32

33:32

Air gap has become one of the most overused and misunderstood terms in backup and recovery. In this episode, W. Curtis Preston and Prasanna explore what air gap really means, tracing its origins from the days when everyone used tape storage to modern virtual implementations. They discuss how true air gap required physical separation - tapes stored offsite at facilities like Iron Mountain - and why this gold standard is nearly impossible to achieve with today's connected backup systems. The conversation covers modern alternatives including immutable storage, IAM-based protection, and simulated air gaps that disconnect network connections when not actively replicating. Curtis and Prasanna explain why ransomware has made air gap more important than ever, and provide practical guidance for evaluating vendor claims about air gap capabilities in cloud and hybrid environments.…

Cloud vs Tape Throwdown: Which is Better for Archiving? 36:14

16 weeks پیش36:14

36:14

In this episode of The Backup Wrap-Up, we look at the cloud vs tape debate for active archives. The conversation was sparked by a LinkedIn post claiming tape libraries are the only robots not making things easier in 2025, suggesting cloud is superior to tape for active archives. We challenge this premise by pointing out that cloud vs tape is a false dichotomy since many cloud storage vendors use tape for their lowest-cost tiers. We examine key considerations including cost (where tape wins by orders of magnitude), data integrity (where tape actually outperforms disk), and access times (where expectations should align with use cases). For organizations running on-premises infrastructure, we also highlight the often-overlooked egress costs and transfer times associated with cloud storage. Whether you're managing secondary storage or planning an archive strategy, this candid discussion cuts through the marketing hype. Here's the LinkedIn post that sparked the discussion: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7300167312144322561/ Here's a recent episode about how tape is not dead: https://www.backupwrapup.com/is-tape-backup-dead-why-it-still-matters/…
