Did you read our recent blog update? Sunday, March 31st, was World Backup Day! Our IT expert, Randy Moore, headed off to The Big 550 KTRS studio to spread the word about the important technology event. Just in case you forgot to back up your data on Sunday, it's never too late. Our Tech Talk recap is coming to you with a reminder on why saving your data and checking in on it is so essential year round.

We're all guilty of moving away from actually printing pictures. The norm has become storing your memories in a folder on your device and taking things on the go. While it's nice to always have access to your pictures, what happens if you accidentally overwrite the file and you lose the picture forever? Sounds like you could be out of luck. Our IT expert Randy Moore joined the Guy Phillips Show for Tech Talk on KTRS last Friday to talk about the importance of securely backing up your personal data.

Last week on Tech Talk on The Big 550 KTRS our IT expert, Rion Kolosieke, joined the show to talk about having a disaster recovery plan and how to securely store your documents. Guy Phillips was in good humor and talking about technology jokes too. It's almost Halloween and keeping up with some of our St. Louis roots, we just wanted to leave you with a technology joke before we dive into our segment from last week. What do you call having your grandma on speed dial? Instagram! That's the last of the corny jokes, we promise. Data backup and disaster recovery, however, isn't something to joke about.

We've talked about it before, and we'll continue to talk about it. Having a disaster recovery plan in motion can literally save your company should your data be compromised. Our IT expert, Randy Moore, joined the good people over at The Big 550 KTRS for Tech Talk to chat about why disaster recovery is important both in the office and at home.

Think about your ritual every time you step foot in your favorite coffee shop. Order your drink, take a seat and open your laptop, sip on your latte, connect to the Wi-Fi and check your email. Seems harmless and relaxing, but you could be putting yourself at risk. Our IT Expert, Jeff Groby joined the Guy Phillips Show on The Big 550 KTRS last Friday for Tech Talk to talk about the dangers of using public Wi-Fi. Never fear, Jeff came armed with tips to help keep you safely browsing the internet and drinking your cherished latte in peace!

Unless you were living under a rock last week, you've heard about the Royal Wedding. Before we went on the air for Tech Talk, Guy Phillips and his co-host were using a royal family name generator they found on social media. When our IT expert, Rion Kolosieke, heard about this he took a quick detour from our topic of backup and disaster recovery to talk about the risks with social media games and quizzes.

Last week on Tech Talk, our IT expert, went into detail about the importance of password management. Steve even gave a few suggestions on free websites people can use to manage their multiple passwords. Let’s be honest, we’re all guilty of having to use that “Forgot Password” option.
