Nobody has tested a restore.
The backup software shows green checkmarks, but no one has actually restored a file, a database or a whole server to prove it works.
Ransomware, a failed server, a deleted folder or a hurricane can all take your data offline. CCJ Tech Solutions sets up workstation, server and cloud backups with offsite copies and tested restores, so you know how your business gets back to work.
Many offices find out their backups don't work on the day they need them. These are the problems we run into most often.
The backup software shows green checkmarks, but no one has actually restored a file, a database or a whole server to prove it works.
A USB drive or NAS that's always connected can be encrypted by ransomware along with everything else. At least one copy needs to be out of reach.
Cloud apps keep your email and files available, but deleted items, overwritten files and compromised accounts can still mean lost data without a separate backup.
South Florida businesses plan around hurricane season. If your server is in a closet that loses power or floods, where does your data live?
Restoring a few files takes minutes. Rebuilding a server from scratch can take days.
A new laptop, a reception PC or a shared folder on someone's desktop often falls outside the backup plan until it fails.
Give CCJ 20–30 minutes and we'll check what's backed up, where the copies live and whether restores have been tested.
CCJ designs backup and recovery around how long your business can be down and how much data it can afford to lose:
Scheduled backups of servers and the workstations that hold important data, monitored so failed jobs are noticed and fixed.
A separate copy of cloud email, OneDrive, SharePoint or Google Drive data that can be restored if items are deleted or overwritten.
At least one copy kept offsite and separated from your everyday network, so ransomware can't encrypt every version.
Restores tested on a schedule, so recovery is something we've already practiced, not something we hope works.
A written plan covering what gets restored first, who to call and how staff keep working during an outage or storm.
Hands-on help restoring files, mailboxes, databases or full systems when something goes wrong.

Free and no obligation. This is a brief, non-invasive review, not a penetration test or compliance review, and it may not identify every risk. Prefer to talk first? Call (561) 778-1485.
It depends on how much work you can afford to redo. Many offices back up servers several times a day and workstations daily. During the free assessment we look at what you have now and suggest a schedule that fits.
Microsoft and Google keep their services running, but deleted or overwritten data is only recoverable for a limited time under their retention settings. A separate backup gives you your own copy to restore from.
A good plan keeps at least one copy offsite and protected from ransomware, and restores are tested on a schedule. We can't promise recovery from every incident, but these basics make recovery far more likely.
We look at where your data and critical systems live, make sure copies exist outside the building, and write down how staff can keep working if the office is closed or without power.
That depends on what fails and how backups are set up. Part of our planning is agreeing on recovery priorities, so the systems you need first come back first.
Request a free IT assessment. In 20–30 minutes we'll review what's backed up, where the copies are stored and how recovery would work, then give you clear next steps.
