At One Stop IT, we believe reliable technology begins with proactive planning — and nothing demonstrates that more clearly than how you handle your data.
Too often, businesses assume their data is safe because they have a backup. But in reality, relying on a single solution — whether it’s an external drive, a cloud sync, or a server — just isn’t enough. When something goes wrong (and eventually, it will), one backup won’t always save the day.
We’ve seen it firsthand: failed hard drives, ransomware attacks, accidental deletions — even office floods. In every case, the businesses that recovered quickly had one thing in common: redundancy.
Our Approach to Backup
When we design backup solutions for our clients, we take the time to understand how your business operates and what data is critical to keep you running. From there, we apply a multi-layered strategy — often using the industry-standard 3-2-1 backup rule:
- 3 copies of your data
- 2 different types of storage
- 1 copy stored offsite
This ensures you’re protected not only against common disruptions, but also against the rare, worst-case scenarios that could cripple operations if you’re not prepared.
More Than a Backup — A Plan
What sets us apart is our commitment to long-term success. We don’t just install backup software and move on. We:
- Set up automated backups with real-time monitoring
- Store backups in secure, encrypted offsite locations
- Test recovery procedures regularly
- Stay in close communication with your team to ensure your backup solution evolves with your business
Whether you’re a small office in Lake County or a multi-site operation in Cook or Kenosha, we make sure your data is protected — because we understand just how much is riding on it.
Peace of Mind, Built In
Data loss is stressful — but it doesn’t have to be catastrophic. With a thoughtful, layered backup approach, we help our clients avoid disruption and keep moving forward with confidence.
