Backups for every part of your business

Whether it's a single workstation or a full server environment, we build a backup plan around what actually matters to your operations.

💻

Workstations & Laptops

Protect employee machines, local documents, desktop configurations, and OS images from loss or hardware failure.

🖥️

Servers

Full image and file-level backups for physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud-hosted instances.

💾

Back up shared network drives, file servers, and NAS appliances so team files are always recoverable.

Scheduled backups of web content, CMS data, SQL and NoSQL databases, and application configurations.

📁

Business-Critical Files

Financial records, contracts, project files, and any documents your business can't afford to lose.

Data loss doesn't send a warning first

Most businesses don't think about backups until something goes wrong. By then, the damage is done — lost files, missed deadlines, lost revenue, and hours spent trying to recover what may not be recoverable.

Managed backups take the guesswork out of data protection. We handle the setup, scheduling, monitoring, and recovery so you don't have to think about it until you need it — and when you do, it just works.

The question isn't whether you'll need a backup. It's whether you'll have one when you do.

⚠️

Ransomware & Malware

Attacks can encrypt or destroy your files in minutes. Off-site backups give you a clean recovery path without paying a ransom.

💥

Hardware Failure

Drives fail, servers crash, and devices get damaged. Backups mean a hardware problem doesn't become a data problem.

🤷

Human Error

Accidental deletions, overwritten files, and bad updates happen. Versioned backups let you roll back to exactly what you need.

Common questions about managed backups

We back up workstations, laptops, physical and virtual servers, NAS and file shares, websites, databases, and cloud-hosted business files. If it stores important data, we can build a backup plan for it.
Backup frequency depends on your needs. Most clients run daily backups, but we support hourly, weekly, or custom schedules depending on how frequently your data changes and how much recovery time you need.
Backups are stored off-site in encrypted storage, separate from your production environment. This protects your data from local hardware failure, ransomware, theft, and physical disasters like fire or flooding.
It depends on the scope. Individual files or folders can often be recovered in minutes. Full system restores depend on data volume and connection speed, but we prioritize every restore and handle it directly so you're not figuring it out alone.
Yes. We back up on-premise servers, cloud VMs, hybrid setups, and SaaS application data. We design backup strategies around your actual infrastructure — not a one-size-fits-all template.
All backup jobs are actively monitored. If a job fails, we receive an alert and investigate immediately. You're notified of the issue and the resolution so nothing slips through the cracks.
Sync services like OneDrive or Dropbox mirror your files across devices — but if a file is deleted or corrupted, that change syncs too. Backups create independent, versioned copies of your data that you can restore from even after something goes wrong.
Yes. Beyond backups, we can help you document a recovery plan that covers priorities, responsibilities, and procedures — so if something serious happens, your team knows exactly what to do and how quickly you can be back up and running.
