Backup and recovery

Data Backup & Disaster Recovery for Sacramento Area Small Businesses

A backup only matters on the day you need it. I make sure yours works, and I test it before that day comes.

Data backup and disaster recovery

Most small businesses think they are backed up

Many of the businesses I meet have some kind of backup: an external drive plugged into a computer, a sync folder, or a service someone set up years ago. When I check, the drive has been full for months, the sync folder copies deleted files right along with everything else, or nobody knows the password.

Real backup means three things. Your data is copied automatically, at least one copy is somewhere else, and someone has proven that it can be restored. I handle all three for small businesses across Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado and Yolo counties.

My backup and recovery services include:

On-site and cloud backup

A local copy for fast restores and an encrypted copy off-site in the cloud, so a fire, theft or flood at the office doesn't take your data with it.

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup

Email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Google Drive backed up separately from the provider, with years of history you can restore from.

Ransomware recovery

Backups that ransomware can't reach or change, so if an attack does get through, I can roll your systems back instead of you paying a ransom.

Tested restores

I test restores on a schedule and watch every backup job. If a backup fails, I know about it and fix it, usually before you ever hear about it.

Business continuity planning

A simple written plan for what happens if a server dies or the office is closed: who does what, what comes back first, and how long it takes.

Compliance-ready retention

Backup and retention settings for medical, dental, legal and financial offices that have to keep records for a set number of years.

When did you last test a restore?

If the answer is “never” or “I’m not sure,” that is the most common answer I hear, and the most important thing to fix. It starts with a free 15-minute call. If it makes sense, I’ll check what you are backing up today and show you where the gaps are.

Stop worrying about IT.

It starts with a free 15-minute call to get to know each other: where things stand today, where you want to be, and what budget makes sense. No pressure, no sales pitch.
