FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need backup if I use cloud storage like Dropbox?
Cloud sync services like Dropbox aren’t true backups - if you delete a file or get ransomware, the deletion syncs to the cloud too. Proper backup keeps separate copies with version history so you can recover from any situation.
Should I use local backup or cloud backup?
Ideally both - the 3-2-1 rule says keep 3 copies, on 2 different types of media, with 1 offsite. Local backup gives fast recovery; cloud backup protects against theft, fire, or flood. We can advise on the right approach for your situation.
How often should backups run?
For most home users, daily is sufficient. Businesses with frequently changing data might need hourly or continuous backup. We’ll recommend based on how much data you can afford to lose.
How do I know my backups are actually working?
We verify backups by testing recovery after setup. For business clients, we offer monitoring services that alert us if backups fail. We also recommend periodic recovery testing.
What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?
It’s the simple standard that keeps data safe: three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy kept off-site or in the cloud. The point is that no single event — a dead drive, a stolen laptop, a fire, a ransomware attack — can wipe out everything at once. Most people have exactly one copy, on one machine, which is one failure away from gone. We set up backups that quietly satisfy this rule without you having to think about it.
Isn't syncing to the cloud the same as a backup?
No, and the difference matters. Sync services like Dropbox or OneDrive mirror your files — so if a file is deleted, corrupted, or encrypted by ransomware, that change syncs everywhere, including your ‘backup’. A true backup keeps separate, historical copies you can roll back to. Sync is convenient; on its own it is not a safety net. We often see this misunderstanding turn a small problem into a total loss.
Why do I need a backup if my computer is working fine?
Because backups protect against the failures you can’t predict, and the time to have one is before, not after. We see the other version constantly: a drive fails, a laptop is dropped or stolen, a system stops booting, and the data was in only one place. As we found on a MacBook whose board we revived but whose data was gone, no repair can retroactively create a backup you didn’t have. A working computer is exactly when to set one up.
Can you set up automatic backups so I don't have to remember?
Yes — that’s the whole point of doing it properly. A backup that relies on you remembering to run it will eventually be forgotten; a good setup runs automatically in the background, to an external drive, the cloud, or ideally both. We configure it for your machines and, for businesses, verify it’s actually completing — because an untested backup is only a hope until you need it.
