What Would Happen If You Lost
All Your Data?

Take a minute to think about it.

  • Could you recreate everything: your files, emails, client records, and financial data?
  • Even if you could, how long would it take?
  • How much would downtime cost you in lost business and missed opportunities?
  • And the biggest question: would your business survive?

The Truth About Downtime

Most businesses cannot afford more than a few hours of downtime before it begins to cause serious damage.

With SmartPath’s ITWorks Proactive Technology Support, we guarantee your systems will be back online within two hours of a failure. No guesswork. No stress.

3 Essentials Your Backup System
Must Have

Even if you are already backing up your data, that does not mean you are protected.

These three elements are absolutely critical for real peace of mind.

1. Secure, Encrypted Offsite Backup

Onsite backups are helpful until disaster strikes. If fire, theft, or flood hits your office, local backups may be destroyed too. This is why you must keep an encrypted copy of your data offsite in a secure data center.

Carrying a portable drive home is not a safe plan. If that drive is lost or stolen and it is not encrypted, confidential data such as client information, financial records, or email archives could be exposed.

A strong backup strategy must include an encrypted, offsite copy of your data.

2. A Real Data Recovery and Disaster Recovery Plan

Backing up your data is not the same as recovering it. Many business owners do not realize how long and difficult it can be to restore their systems after an outage.

Having a copy of your files is only the beginning. You also need a clear, tested plan that gets you back up and running quickly. Tape drives and external hard drives cannot provide fast or reliable recovery.

A strong disaster recovery plan should include:

  • Defined recovery priorities and timelines
  • Both onsite and offsite recovery paths
  • Regular updates and testing

3. Regular Test Restores

A backup that has never been tested might not work when you need it most. We perform test restores every month to ensure your data is truly recoverable.

If your IT provider is not doing this, you do not have a reliable backup strategy. You have a false sense of security.
