Data Backup & Disaster Recovery

Data backup & disaster recovery for Central Florida businesses

A backup you’ve never restored from is a guess. Between ransomware, failed drives and hurricane season, Florida businesses need backups that are automatic, off-site and actually tested. I set up a 3-2-1 backup strategy and prove it works before you ever need it.

Sound familiar?

Backups to a USB drive that sits right next to the server
No idea when the last successful backup actually ran
Ransomware that would encrypt the backups along with everything else
No plan for what happens if the office loses power or floods

A good fit for

Any business whose files, books or client records live on one computer or server
Offices that have been hit by — or nearly hit by — ransomware
Businesses needing proof of backups for cyber insurance
Teams that want a real hurricane-season continuity plan

What's included

Data Backup & Disaster Recovery from Bearded Bytes

3-2-1 backups

Three copies of your data, on two types of storage, with one copy off-site in the cloud.

Ransomware-resistant copies

Backups kept separate from your everyday network so an infection can’t wipe them out.

Microsoft 365 backup

Email, OneDrive and SharePoint backed up independently of Microsoft’s own retention.

Monitoring & alerts

Failed or missed backups are flagged and fixed, not discovered months later.

Tested restores

Regular test restores, so recovery is a known process — not a hope.

Hurricane-season planning

A written plan for working remotely and recovering if the office is down.

How it works

From first call to done

Inventory of where your important data actually lives
Backup design with recovery-time goals in plain English
Implementation and a first full test restore
Ongoing monitoring and periodic restore tests

Questions

Data Backup & Disaster Recovery: common questions

Isn’t OneDrive or Dropbox already a backup?

Not really. Sync services copy deletions and ransomware damage too. A real backup keeps separate, versioned copies you can roll back to.

How fast can we recover?

It depends on the data and the setup, and that’s defined up front. The goal is minutes for a single file and a known timeline for a full system.

Do you help with hurricane preparation?

Yes. A written continuity plan is part of the setup, covering remote work and recovery if the office is offline.
