Service Overview
Protection for every place your data lives
Most Mesa businesses discover a backup problem at the worst possible moment — after a drive dies, a laptop is stolen, or a file is encrypted. We take that risk off your plate with monitored, tested backups and a clear plan to restore operations quickly. Backup and disaster recovery is a core part of our managed IT services, and it pairs directly with our cybersecurity and cloud file sharing work.
Whether you run a handful of workstations or a server room, we cover the full picture: local backups for speed, cloud backups for safety, and a documented recovery process so you know exactly what happens when something goes wrong.
Benefits
Why Mesa businesses back up with us
Monitored, not "set and forget"
We watch every backup job and act on failures — so you are not relying on a backup nobody checked.
Tested restores
A backup only matters if it restores. We verify recoverability instead of assuming it works.
Fast local + safe offsite
Local copies get you running quickly; encrypted offsite copies survive theft, fire, and ransomware.
Clear recovery plan
Everyone knows the steps, priorities, and who to call before an outage happens, not during one.
Local, responsive support
On-site help across the East Valley plus fast remote support when minutes count.
Scales with you
From a few PCs to servers and NAS devices, your backup grows as your business does.
Business Continuity
Keep working through the disruption
Backup is about getting your data back. Business continuity is about keeping your business running while you do. We help you define what "up and running" means for your team — which systems, files, and applications are mission-critical — and build a plan that prioritizes them. That includes realistic recovery time and recovery point targets, so you know how quickly you can be operational and how much data you could lose in a worst case. For teams that depend on shared files, we align continuity with your cloud file sharing and network so people can keep working from anywhere.
The 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
A proven rule we build every plan around
The 3-2-1 approach is the backbone of dependable backup. It is simple, and it works.
Three copies of your data
Your live data plus at least two backups, so a single failure never leaves you exposed.
Two different media types
For example a local device and the cloud — so one type of failure cannot take out everything.
One copy offsite
An encrypted copy stored away from your office, safe from theft, fire, flood, and ransomware.
Backup Coverage
Everything we protect
Cloud backups
Encrypted, offsite backups to the cloud with automated scheduling and monitoring — ideal for offsite safety and quick recovery from anywhere in the Valley.
Local backups
On-site backup appliances and drives for the fastest possible restores when you need a file or a full system back in a hurry.
Microsoft 365 backup
Email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams are not fully backed up by default. We add dedicated protection for your Microsoft 365 data.
Server backup
Image-based backups of physical and virtual servers so critical line-of-business systems can be restored quickly, on your existing network.
Workstation backup
Protection for desktops and laptops, so a failed drive or a lost device does not mean lost work for your team.
NAS backup
Network-attached storage is convenient but not a backup by itself. We back up your NAS to a second location so shared files stay safe.
Disaster Recovery Planning
A plan you can actually follow under pressure
A disaster recovery plan turns a stressful outage into a checklist. We document your critical systems, the order to bring them back, where the backups live, and who is responsible for each step. Then we keep it current as your business changes. Good planning also depends on a solid foundation — reliable business Wi-Fi and a well-built network mean recovered systems come straight back online.
- Critical systems and data identified and prioritized
- Recovery time and recovery point targets defined per system
- Step-by-step restore procedures documented
- Clear roles, responsibilities, and contacts
- Periodic reviews so the plan matches how you work today
Ransomware Recovery
When ransomware hits, backups get you back
Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment — but a clean, offsite backup means you can restore instead of pay. We keep isolated backup copies that ransomware cannot reach, so you have a real recovery path. Recovery is fastest when it is paired with strong prevention, which is why our cybersecurity services and backup work hand in hand. If you are dealing with an active incident, contact us right away and we will help you respond.
Talk to Mesa GeeksFAQ
Backup & disaster recovery questions
Is Microsoft 365 already backed up?
Not fully. Microsoft keeps your service running and offers limited retention, but recovering deleted or ransomware-hit email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data is your responsibility. We add dedicated Microsoft 365 backup so that data is recoverable.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is copying your data so it can be restored. Disaster recovery is the full plan — people, priorities, and procedures — for getting your business operational again after an outage. You need both, and we provide both.
How often should we back up?
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. Many Mesa businesses back up multiple times per day for critical systems. We set a schedule around your recovery point targets so a failure never sets you back further than you can accept.
Isn't a NAS or an external drive enough?
On its own, no. A NAS or single drive is one copy in one place — if it fails, is stolen, or is encrypted, everything is gone. We follow the 3-2-1 rule so there is always a separate, offsite copy.
Can you help after a ransomware attack or failure has already happened?
Yes. Contact us right away. If recoverable backups exist we will help you restore, and we can put proper backup and disaster recovery in place so it does not happen again.
Do you serve businesses outside Mesa?
Yes — we support small businesses across Mesa and the surrounding East Valley, including Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, and Apache Junction.
