What's Included With Cloud & Microsoft 365

An Off-Site Copy That Works When Your Office Doesn’t

Cloud backup sends encrypted copies of your data to secure storage outside your building. For West Palm Beach businesses, that matters for three reasons: hurricanes, theft and ransomware. Each can take out every device in an office at once. A cloud copy survives.

How We Set It Up

  • Decide what matters. Servers, file shares, key workstations and line-of-business data.
  • Choose the schedule. Based on how much work you can afford to lose.
  • Separate the copies. Backup storage uses separate credentials from your everyday network, so a compromised account cannot easily delete it.
  • Monitor and test. Our team watches every job and runs test restores.

Local Plus Cloud

The fastest recovery usually comes from a local copy, and the safest from an off-site one. Many of our clients use both: local for quick restores, cloud for disasters. We recommend the mix based on your recovery goals and budget, with no one-size-fits-all package.

Cloud backup is part of our backup and recovery service and our wider data services.

The Technical Side

For IT-minded readers:

  • Encryption: AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit, with keys managed securely
  • Immutability: backups locked against deletion or change for a set period, even by an administrator account
  • Seeding: large first backups sent efficiently so your internet connection is not overwhelmed
  • Bandwidth controls: backups throttled during business hours
  • Recovery options: file-level restore, full system restore and, on some platforms, running servers in the cloud during an extended outage
  • Data location: storage in U.S. data centers

Questions

Cloud Backup in West Palm Beach: Common Questions

Why back up to the cloud instead of a local drive?

A local copy is fast to restore from, but it shares the same risks as your office: theft, fire, flooding and ransomware. A cloud copy is kept elsewhere. Many plans use both.

Can ransomware reach our cloud backup?

Ransomware often targets backups, which is why we keep cloud copies separate from your normal network credentials and, where the plan calls for it, protected from changes or deletion for a set period.

How long does restoring from the cloud take?

Single files are quick. Restoring a whole server depends on the amount of data and your internet speed, which is why we plan recovery around your downtime tolerance and may keep a local copy as well.

Is cloud backup encrypted?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Is cloud backup the same as OneDrive or Dropbox?

No. File sync services copy changes, including deletions and ransomware damage, to every device. A cloud backup keeps separate, versioned copies you can roll back to.

Will cloud backup slow down our internet?

Backups can be scheduled and throttled so they run mostly after hours and stay out of the way during the workday.
