  • Backup options aligned to your systems and budget
  • Verification/testing so backups are usable when needed
  • Recovery planning to reduce disruption

The biggest backup problem?

Backups that “exist”… but haven’t been tested. Verification matters.

Backup vs. Disaster Recovery

Many businesses have “a backup” but no practical recovery plan. Both matter.

Backup

Copies of your data (files, systems, applications) captured on a schedule.

Disaster Recovery

A plan to restore operations after an incident—including priorities and recovery steps.

Verification & Testing

Confirming backups are usable and recovery works before you actually need it.

Concerned your backups may not be recoverable?

We can review the current setup and recommend practical improvements.

Backup verification and restore testing

Backups only matter if restores work

A “successful backup” report doesn’t guarantee you can recover quickly after a server failure, accidental deletion, or ransomware event. We focus on usability and recovery speed.

  • Confirm backup coverage (what’s included + what’s not)
  • Verify completion and alerting for failures
  • Test restores to validate recovery steps
  • Define recovery priorities and realistic RTO targets

Need Microsoft 365 coverage too?

We can evaluate M365 alongside backup and recovery.

Common reasons businesses improve backups

Backup and recovery planning protects operations during routine failures and major incidents.

Hardware failure

Server or storage issues can halt operations without fast restore options.

Accidental deletion

Files and mailboxes can be deleted or overwritten—restores reduce impact.

Ransomware

Verified, protected backups are critical to recovery when systems are encrypted.

Backup & Disaster Recovery FAQs

Answers to common questions from small businesses evaluating backup and recovery options.

Do you provide backup and recovery services in Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Greensboro, and High Point?
Yes. We support small businesses across the Triad with backup strategy, recovery planning, and ongoing support.
Is cloud backup always better than on-prem backup?
Not always. Many environments use a combination—on-prem backups for fast restores and cloud/offsite backups for resilience. We recommend an approach based on your systems, recovery needs, and budget.
How often should backups be tested?
Testing should occur regularly, especially after significant changes. The goal is to confirm backups are usable and that recovery steps are understood before a real incident occurs.
Does backup protect us from ransomware?
Verified backups are a key part of ransomware resilience, but they should be paired with security controls such as MFA, patching, and endpoint protection to reduce the likelihood of an incident.
How do we get started?
Start by requesting an IT Assessment. We’ll review the current setup, identify gaps, and recommend practical next steps.
