Cloud Storage and Data Backup

Where you keep your files decides who can share them, who can see them, how they get backed up, and whether remote staff can work. What suits a five-person office may be wrong for a medical practice, a company with three locations, or an architecture firm with huge project files.

We start by listing what your business can't lose: files, email, accounting data, customer records, and whatever lives on your servers and in your key applications. Then we recommend cloud, local, or a mix of both, and we set it up.

Files get lost to accidental deletion, ransomware, dead hard drives, vendor outages, and the occasional flood. Having files in the cloud doesn't protect you from most of those. A separate backup does.

We set where data lives, who can open it, how sharing works, how often it's backed up, how long copies are kept, and how quickly you can get it back. Then we write that down so you know what's covered and what isn't.

Moving a messy folder structure into a new system just gives you a messy folder structure in a new system. The same goes for permissions copied across without review, staff who were never shown the new way of working, and backups nobody has tested. We clean up first, then move, then test.

Because we also run your support and security, storage doesn't sit off to the side. Its backup status shows up in the same reports as everything else.

Our healthcare ransomware recovery case study shows why backup validation and recovery planning matter when ransomware reaches production servers and the backup environment.

If data is already missing or unavailable, follow our business data loss response guide before making changes that could overwrite data or damage evidence.
