A backup is only useful if it can be restored
Files may be threatened by hardware failure, ransomware, accidental deletion, theft, or a cloud-account mistake. A good backup plan separates copies, protects them, and defines how the business gets working again.

Start with the data and downtime
The right system depends on what must be protected, how quickly it changes, and how long the business can operate without it. That assessment prevents both dangerous gaps and unnecessary storage costs.
Know what your backup does not cover
File sync, cloud storage, and backup are not automatically the same thing. Brian can help identify hidden gaps across computers, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, local storage, NAS systems, and cloud destinations.
Frequently asked questions
Is cloud storage already a backup?
Not necessarily. Sync services may replicate deletions or unwanted changes. A separate backup should preserve recoverable versions according to your business needs.
Can you help with a QNAP or other NAS?
Yes. Support can include storage organization, backup jobs, cloud destinations, version retention, monitoring, and restore planning.
How often should restores be tested?
The schedule should reflect how critical the data is and how often the system changes. The key is to test regularly enough that failures are found before an emergency.
