Business backup & recovery
If a file vanished,
could you get it back?
A backup is a start. A checked restore matters.
An overwritten document, a failed laptop or a folder nobody can find. Know what is protected and how you would get it back before you need to.
Clearly scoped backups, recovery planning and agreed restore checks for your business.
Talk about my backupsOne person to message. The person doing the work.
Illustrative restore check
“That folder was here yesterday.”
A backup job says it completed. Next, check what you can actually open.
- Restore to a separate location.
- Open the file and check its contents.
- Record the result and any gaps.
Example only. No files are accessed or restored here.

Practical help for your business.
Start with what you need
What do you need confidence in?
Choose the closest starting point.
Know what is protected.
Start with the data your work depends on.
List where important files live and which systems matter. Agree the devices and workloads covered, exclusions, frequency, retention and who checks for failures.
A computer backup does not automatically protect all Microsoft 365, SharePoint or Google Workspace data.
Scope, cost and timing agreed before work starts.

A clear way forward.
Map the important data.
Identify workloads, owners and exclusions. Decide what loss or interruption the business needs to plan for.
Agree the protection.
Define backup frequency, retention, access, storage and who responds to failures. Separate setup work from ongoing care.
Restore and record.
Test an agreed sample safely, check the result and record gaps. Review coverage when devices, people or systems change.

Before you get in touch
A few useful answers.
Something else on your mind?
Is a successful backup enough?
It shows that the backup job reported success. It does not prove every required file is covered or that a full system can be recovered within a particular time. Scope and restore checks still matter.
Are cloud files automatically included?
No. Computer, server and cloud workloads need explicit coverage. We identify what the backup product protects and what is excluded, including retention and licensing requirements.
Does this make us safe from ransomware?
Backups are one part of protection. Access controls, separation, monitoring and recovery checks matter too. No backup plan makes a business immune to an attack.
Can backup support be a separate service?
Yes, discuss a standalone scope or an agreed part of ongoing IT support. Setup or changes are project work; storage, software and ongoing support costs depend on the agreed coverage.
Know what you can
get back.
