Local and cloud, tested and automatic

Data Backup

Backup that runs without you thinking about it, keeps copies both on site and off site, and gets tested so you know it actually works.

An untested backup is a hope, not a backup. I set up layered backup — a fast local copy for everyday mistakes plus an off-site copy for fire, theft, and ransomware — then verify a restore actually works. You get automation that runs on its own and a clear picture of what is protected and what is not.

What is included

  • Audit of what data you have and where it currently lives
  • Local backup to external or network storage with versioned history
  • Encrypted cloud and off-site backup for disaster recovery
  • Automated scheduling with failure alerts, so silent breakage gets noticed
  • A documented test restore, proving the backup can actually be recovered from
  • Ransomware-resistant design using versioning and immutable or offline copies

This is probably what you need if…

  • Family photos and documents that live on exactly one device
  • A business that would lose real money for every day of downtime
  • An existing backup nobody has ever tested
  • Meeting a client or insurer requirement to hold off-site copies

Common questions

Do I need both local and cloud backup?

They solve different problems. Local restores are fast and handle the everyday case of a deleted file or dead drive. Off-site copies are what save you from fire, theft, and ransomware. Together they cover both.

Which cloud provider do you use?

Whichever fits your data volume, budget, and privacy requirements — I will lay out the trade-offs rather than push one provider. Existing subscriptions can usually be worked into the design.

Will backups slow my computer down?

They are scheduled around how you work and run incrementally after the first pass, so day-to-day impact is minimal.
