"What would you do if you LOST ALL OF THE FILES on your computer today?"

If you're like most small business owners, you've got a hundred things on your plate — data backups probably aren't at the top of your list.

“A single ransomware attack or server failure can cost thousands in downtime — and most small businesses don’t recover fully. Our service is designed to prevent that loss with monitored backups and live support you can trust."

Hi, I'm Les Larson — "The Backup Guy"

I’ll get right to the point: Most small businesses are at risk of permanently losing all of their valuable data, and possibly their business, because they are going about “backup” the wrong way.

Let me ask you:

• Do you back up your data every single day?
• Is the process automatic, so you don’t have to remember to do it?
• Do you get daily emails letting you know how the last backup went, success or failure?
• Do you yourself know how to do a data recovery if you lost it all, or just needed one important file, maybe from 9 months ago?
• Have you ever done a test recovery to ensure your backups are any good?

I have been providing world class computer support to businesses for over 25 years, and I can honestly tell you that I have never met a new client who could answer yes to all those questions; not one single client. Ever.

That’s a real problem... but the problem probably isn’t you; most times, “some guy” set up the backup program “a while back” and the people who run the business have no idea how to even test that it’s working or how to recover a file.

For those of you using Dropbox, OneDrive or another file synchronization service for your “backup”… you are especially at risk. Those are excellent file sync services, but they not designed to provide proper data backup... that's not their purpose. If you lose a bunch of files or get hit with ransomware and this is your backup plan, you may realize too late (as an author acquaintance of mine did recently) that syncing your corrupt data online means losing everything, even the ability to recover. I’m not bashing those services… just realize they are NOT proper data backup services… you need the right tool for the job.

Do you have any idea how much it would cost, in dollars and productivity, if you lost all of your data today?

I’ve seen businesses go out of business forever because they got hit with ransomware or total server failure and couldn’t recover, because their backups were useless.

That's why I built Fortress, a backup solution that's simple, affordable, and rock-solid.

If you use a backup system you expect to count on, it had better:

• Run automatically.
• Encrypt all data, all the time, even at rest.
• Be regularly tested.
• Provide status notifications.
• Be out of reach of ransomware.
• Come with excellent customer service.

At The Backup Guy, we provide no-BS data backup service for your business, giving you the support and peace-of-mind you deserve.

I wrote the book on customer service for the IT industry (yes, really. The People Side of IT - You can find it on Amazon) and I guarantee that you're going to be impressed with the level of customer support you get from us.

• We get those same emails and will probably call you before you call us, so we can help you determine, at no charge whatsoever, what happened.

• You get 24/7 for support from us… not a call center and never an automated bot.
• In addition to our offsite storage, you can also have your own offsite storage, an in-house backup, or all, running with separate schedules that address the way you run your business.

Need help recovering a file from a month ago, or 4 years ago? Call us. Need help to recover everything? Same… just call us.

We've been offering offsite backup since 2009, and have never failed to recover data for our clients... we intend to keep it that way.
