Business data protection before disaster strikes.
Offsite backup planning for critical files, accounting data, documents and operational information.
Continuity planning
Backups are only useful when they can be restored.
Gigatech helps identify what data matters, where it lives, how often it changes and what recovery would look like after theft, hardware failure, corruption or ransomware.
- Data discovery: identify critical folders, systems and user devices.
- Offsite strategy: reduce single-location risk.
- Recovery thinking: plan how the business gets running again.
- Routine checks: verify that backup processes stay healthy as part of managed IT support.
Common backup gaps
- Data stored only on one laptop or desktop
- No recent restore test
- External drives kept next to the same PC
- Accounting or operational files not included

We will help you identify critical data, practical offsite protection options and whether ongoing managed backup checks should form part of your support plan.
FAQ
Offsite backup questions.
Why are offsite backups important?
Offsite backups reduce the risk of losing the original files and the backup at the same time through theft, hardware failure, power damage or ransomware.
What should a small business back up first?
Start with accounting data, customer records, supplier documents, quotes, invoices, operational files, shared folders and any data the business cannot easily recreate.
How do we know whether backups actually work?
Backups should be monitored and periodically tested with a restore. A backup that cannot be restored is not a reliable recovery plan.
Can backups help after ransomware?
Backups can support recovery if clean versions are available and protected from the same ransomware incident. Versioning and access control matter.
