The Real Cost of Data Loss
An untested backup
is not a backup.
Most Mac users run Time Machine. Most Mac users have never verified a single restore.
These are not the same thing, and the difference matters enormously.
58%
Of companies that experience major data loss shut down within 6 months. regardless

Disaster mitigation is included in all retainers, whereas reactive support starts
at $185/hr instantly.

Our 4-Step Backup Process
Three copies. Two types.
One offsite. Tested.
The 3-2-1 rule is the industry standard for a reason. We implement it, configure it,
verify it, and monitor it continuously.
🗺️
Architecture design
We map your current backup state, identify single points of failure, and design a
3-2-1 architecture for your specific devices.
🔧
Configuration
Time Machine, offsite cloud (Backblaze B2 or similar), and NAS-based local backup
all configured with correct retention and encryption.
✅
Restore testing
An actual file restore performed from each backup medium. timestamped, documented,
and delivered to you in writing.
📡
Live monitoring
Backup jobs monitored continuously. A missed or failed job triggers an alert within
2 hours, never found 3 weeks later.
Before & After: Total Peace of Mind
Data loss goes from
catastrophic to annoying.
With a verified backup architecture, even the worst-case scenario becomes a recoverable
afternoon, not a business-ending event.
Drive fails. Time Machine present, but the restore hangs at 40%. unusable
Ransomware encrypts local files. cloud sync propagates the encryption
Accidental deletion: file gone 31 days ago, history only kept 30 days
Backup runs at 3am but disk disconnected. nobody notices for 6 weeks
No documentation of what backup scheme exists or where credentials are stored
Drive fails. Local Time Machine + cloud backup both tested. restore takes 2 hours
Ransomware encrypts files. versioned offsite copy unaffected, rolled back in hours
Accidental deletion: 6-month version history retained with explicit rollback policy
Failed backup job: alert sent within 2 hours, corrected before it mattered
Complete backup documentation in your private vault. readable by anyone who needs
it
Choose Your Backup Protection Level
Every plan includes backup.
Depth varies by tier.
Entry-level gets annual verification. Total coverage gets continuous monitoring with
same-day incident response.
Get written proof your data survives anything.
One verified restore, documented and signed off. That's what you're missing.
