Home / Managed backup
Managed backup monitoring for home and small offices.
Most offices find out their backup stopped working on the day they need it. I set up automatic cloud backup, check it every week, test a restore every 3 months and email you a short report, for one monthly fee.
What "managed" means here
Backup software alone is not enough. Someone has to look at it.
Set up once, properly
Automatic cloud backup (IDrive) on each computer, with the folders that matter included.
Checked every week
I look at every backup job. If one failed or stopped, I fix it before you notice.
Test restore every 3 months
A real restore of real files, so you know the backup works, not just that it ran.
A short monthly email
Backups OK, what I fixed, anything to watch. No jargon.
Servers and NAS too
Full image backup of a Windows Server or NAS, checked every day.
Your data stays yours
If you leave, I hand over the backup account or a copy of your files.
