Data Protection, Backup & Recovery
Keep your data safe, accessible, and recoverable
What This Service Is
Data protection is about being able to recover your information quickly and reliably when something goes wrong, not just storing it somewhere. Many businesses believe they are protected because data exists in the cloud or on a backup drive, but having data backed up does not automatically mean it can be restored easily. Recovery speed, completeness, and verification matter just as much as storage.
We provide practical, affordable, and dependable backup and recovery solutions that fit how small and medium-sized businesses actually operate. That includes setting up backups that run consistently, monitoring them to catch failures early, testing regularly to verify they work, and planning recovery so you can get back to business quickly when needed. Protection should be reliable without being unnecessarily expensive, and it should scale as your business grows.
Who This Is For
This is for any business that relies on its data to operate. That includes customer records, financial information, project files, email history, and anything else you would need to restore if systems failed. Whether you already have backups in place or are starting from scratch, the key question is whether your current protection would actually get you back to work quickly if something went wrong.
It's also for businesses that want a second look at their current setup. Maybe backups are running but you're not sure they're monitored or tested. Maybe data is stored in the cloud but there's no clear recovery plan. Maybe protection was set up years ago and hasn't been reviewed since. A thoughtful assessment can clarify what's working, what's missing, and what might need adjustment.
Problems This Solves
Backups exist but recovery is untested or unclear Having data stored somewhere does not guarantee you can restore it quickly when needed. Backups can fail silently, become corrupted, or take far longer to restore than expected. We set up backups that run on consistent schedules, monitor them for failures, and test them periodically to verify recovery actually works.
There is only one copy of important data Relying on a single backup location creates risk. If that backup fails or is compromised, there is no fallback. Best practice is having multiple copies in different places, including at least one copy stored off-site. This protects against hardware failure, theft, fire, and other scenarios that could affect local systems.
Recovery time is not planned or predictable Knowing how long it takes to restore data matters just as much as having backups. If recovery takes days instead of hours, the business impact can be significant. We design recovery processes that are planned, tested, and realistic about timing, so you know what to expect when you need to restore.
Backup monitoring is manual or nonexistent Backups that run automatically can still fail without anyone noticing. Monitoring catches issues early so they can be corrected before you need to restore. We monitor backups continuously and alert you to failures so problems get addressed promptly instead of discovered too late.
How We Protect Your Business
Security works best in layers, like having multiple locks on your doors. We start with the basics: a firewall to block bad traffic from getting to your network, antivirus software on every computer, regular security updates to fix vulnerabilities, and email filtering to catch malicious messages before they reach your inbox.
Beyond that, we add protection based on what you need. That might include secure remote access so people can work from home safely, encryption for sensitive files, or extra monitoring to catch suspicious activity. We keep it appropriate for your business. You don't need bank-level security if you're a small office.
We also work with your team on awareness. The best firewall in the world won't help if someone clicks on a bad link and gives away their password. We teach your staff how to recognize phishing attempts and avoid common mistakes.
How We Handle Backups
Effective backup means having multiple copies of important data in different places, with at least one copy stored off-site. This protects against hardware failure, accidental deletion, theft, fire, and other scenarios. We typically set up both local backup for quick recovery of individual files and off-site backup for broader protection. The right combination depends on your data, budget, and recovery priorities.
Backups run on consistent schedules so protection stays current without requiring manual action. More importantly, we monitor backups continuously to catch failures early instead of discovering problems when you need to restore. We also test backups periodically by performing actual restores, verifying that data is complete and recovery works as expected. This is critical because untested backups often fail when needed most.
When restoration is needed, whether for a single file or full system recovery, we manage that process so you can get back to work quickly. Recovery should be planned, not improvised. We provide clear ownership and accountability for data protection so it does not fall through the cracks or get assumed to be working without verification.
Getting Started
If you want to review your current data protection or set up backups for the first time, we start with assessment and discussion. We'll look at what data matters most to your business, what protection you currently have if any, how quickly you would need to recover, and what your budget allows. This shapes recommendations instead of applying a generic approach.
From there, we provide a clear plan outlining what we recommend, why, and what it will cost. Protection should be practical and affordable without being insufficient. We also explain how monitoring and testing will work so you have confidence that backups will be there when needed. No pressure, no scare tactics, just transparent information to help you make informed decisions.
