Backup solutions in Barnes

A single failed drive or lost device can wipe out years of work or family memories. In Barnes, many of our clients run home offices or keep important work and personal files on a mix of computers and devices. Putting a clear backup strategy in place — and automating it — means you’re protected without having to remember to run backups yourself. We look at what you actually have: which devices, where the important data lives, and how much of it would be painful to lose. From there we recommend a practical mix: often cloud backup (e.g. iCloud, Google Drive, or OneDrive) for day-to-day files and photos, plus local or offsite backup for larger or more sensitive data. We configure automatic syncing and schedules, test that restores work, and show you how to recover files when you need to. We can do this onsite in Barnes or remotely; we’re about 15–30 minutes from Putney if you prefer a visit. Once everything is set up, we’ll walk you through how it works and what to do if a device fails. The goal is peace of mind: your data is protected without adding extra hassle to your routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Backup Solutions in Barnes

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.
