Most small businesses we audit have backups that haven't been tested in years — or are sitting on the same network as the data they're meant to protect. We deploy real 3-2-1 backups, run test restores, and write down a recovery plan a stranger could follow.
Three copies of your data, on two different media, with at least one offsite — and a tested recovery plan to go with it.
2-hour review: what's backed up, how often, where, last successful restore. Written report ranked by risk.
Fast local restores for everyday "oops I deleted it." Offsite cloud copy for the fire, flood, ransomware scenarios.
AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, customer-controlled keys where supported. Stolen backup drive ≠ stolen data.
Microsoft and Google don't actually back up your email. If an employee deletes a mailbox, it's gone in 30 days. We back up M365/Workspace separately.
Immutable / WORM backup retention so ransomware can't delete or encrypt your backups even if it gets into your network.
Quarterly test restores so we know it actually works. Written timestamp + screenshot of every successful restore.
Written, printed, kept off-network. "If everything is gone, here's the order of operations to get the business back online." We've written them.
If you're in the middle of an incident — call us. Same-day priority response for backup restoration, even if you're not yet a client.
Restore from last night's backup. 30 minutes back in business. Without backup: hire a $300/hr data recovery service and hope.
Isolate the infected systems. Restore from immutable offsite backups (which ransomware can't touch). Back online same day, no ransom paid.
Office 365's default retention dropped it in 30 days — but our M365 backup kept it. Restore the mailbox, recover the customer contacts.
Order replacement hardware. Restore VMs from offsite backup to a temporary cloud instance so the business runs while we wait on the part.
Audit first. Set up second. Storage after that — at our cost, marked up zero.
Walk-through of your current backup posture. We test a restore from your existing backup (if there is one). Written report.
Local + cloud backup deployed across your servers and workstations. M365/Workspace backup. Encryption. Tested restore. Recovery runbook.
Monitoring, quarterly test restores, runbook updates, 1-hour priority response if you ever need a restore. After-hours emergency line included.
Cloud storage is billed at cost (typically $5-30/mo for most SMBs). No reseller markup. You see the bill.
Our own infrastructure backs up across 4 regions, daily, retention policy actively enforced. We don't write theory — we live this every day.
Unrestored backups are not backups. Every retainer client gets quarterly test restores. Documented, timestamped, screenshotted.
We use standard backup formats. If you fire us, your backups still work with anyone else's tooling. No proprietary container nonsense.
Cloud storage is billed at-cost. Most local MSPs mark up cloud storage 2-3×. We don't. You see exactly what we pay.
No. They run a redundant service — that's not the same thing as a backup. If an employee or attacker deletes data, default retention drops it after 30 days. Real M365/Workspace backups protect against accidents and malice.
Once written, can't be modified or deleted — even by an administrator — for a set period. Critical for ransomware resilience, because attackers often delete backups before encrypting files.
Single file: minutes from local backup. Full server: hours from cloud backup (faster from local). Full business restore: same day to 48 hours depending on data volume. We document target restore times in your runbook.
Call 253-357-1659. Even if you're not yet a client, we'll take you on as a priority case. Don't pay the ransom until you've talked to someone — restoration is often faster than waiting on a decryption key.
Cyber insurance carriers want: tested backups, immutable retention, MFA on backup admin accounts, off-network storage. We deploy all four by default. We'll also fill out their questionnaire for you.
If your backup is good, we'll tell you. If it's not, we'll tell you that too — with a written report you can shop around with.
