Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backups are only useful if you can restore from them

Fortifi IT helps businesses design practical backup and recovery plans for files, servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365 data.

Review my backups

A practical backup plan reduces downtime and panic.

Many businesses have some form of backup, but they are not always monitored, documented, or tested. Fortifi IT helps you understand what is protected, what is not protected, how long recovery may take, and what steps should happen during an outage or ransomware event.

Backup coverage review

Identify critical systems, files, Microsoft 365 data, retention needs, and gaps.

Restore testing

Confirm that backups can actually be restored before a real emergency.

Ransomware readiness

Separate backup access, reduce single points of failure, and document recovery steps.

Continuity planning

Define recovery priorities, contacts, vendors, and realistic timelines.

Questions your backup plan should answer

  • What data is backed up?
  • How often does it back up?
  • Who gets alerted if it fails?
  • How long would a restore take?
  • When was the last restore test?

Backup is part of cybersecurity.

Good backups help recover from ransomware, accidental deletion, hardware failure, cloud account compromise, and natural disasters. Fortifi IT can help make backup part of your overall risk reduction plan.

Backup is the process of copying data so it can be restored. Disaster recovery is the plan for getting systems, users, and business operations running again after an outage, ransomware event, hardware failure, or major data loss.

Often, yes. Microsoft 365 has built-in retention and availability features, but a separate backup can help protect mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data from accidental deletion, malicious deletion, and account compromise.

Backups should be tested regularly. The right schedule depends on how critical the data is, how often it changes, and how quickly the business needs to recover. A backup that has never been tested should not be trusted blindly.

Backups can be an important part of ransomware recovery, but they need to be protected, monitored, and tested. Fortifi IT can help review backup gaps, recovery options, and basic ransomware readiness.

Fortifi IT can help review and plan backup options for servers, workstations, files, Microsoft 365 data, and other important business systems depending on your environment and recovery needs.

Yes. A recovery plan can document what is backed up, where backups are stored, who to contact, what systems matter most, and what steps should happen first during an outage or data loss event.
