Online backup sends encrypted copies of your files, servers and laptops to a secure data center every day. A local team watches every job and proves your data can come back when you need it.
Get a Free IT AssessmentOnline backup means a copy of your business data is stored somewhere other than your office. Software on your servers and computers sends that copy over the internet each night, encrypted before it leaves. If a laptop is stolen, a server fails or a pipe bursts above your suite, your files are still safe in a second location.
Many Atlanta offices think they already have this. Then they learn the USB drive in the supply closet has not run since spring, or that the cloud sync folder only holds a fraction of what matters. Sync is not backup. If a file is deleted or locked by ransomware, sync copies the damage everywhere. A real backup keeps older versions you can go back to.
A good online backup service covers more than documents. It protects your line-of-business software, databases, shared drives, email and the settings that make a server work. It runs on a schedule, reports every result and gets tested. You should never have to wonder whether last night’s job worked. Someone should already know, and fix it if it did not.
Atlanta businesses face a mix of risks. Summer thunderstorms and the occasional ice storm cause power surges and outages. Older buildings Downtown and in Midtown have aging plumbing and shared risers. Break-ins, equipment theft and simple hardware failure happen in every part of the metro. A backup kept in the same room as the original fails in exactly the moments you need it.
Ransomware is the other big reason. Attackers look for backups first and try to delete or encrypt them. Online backup that is separate from your office network, with older versions locked from changes, gives you a way back without paying anyone. For most small and midsize firms, it is the cheapest protection against the worst day in business.
Everything below is part of one monthly plan. Pick a topic to see what is handled for you and how it works in a Atlanta office.
Your file server, database server and shared drives hold the work your team touches all day. We back them up as full images and as individual files, so you can restore one spreadsheet or an entire machine. Jobs run overnight so they do not slow anyone down.
Each server copy is encrypted before it leaves your office and stored in a secure data center. Retention is set to match your needs, such as 30 days of daily copies plus monthly archives. If the server dies, the image can be started on new hardware or in the cloud.
Microsoft keeps its service running, but it does not promise to restore what you or an attacker delete. A separate backup copies mailboxes, calendars, OneDrive files, SharePoint libraries and Teams data on a schedule you control.
This matters when an employee leaves and their account is removed, or when a stolen password leads to deleted mail. You can restore a single message, a whole mailbox or a shared folder to a point in time. Recovery is quick and does not need a support ticket with a vendor.
People work from the office, home and client sites. Backup software on each laptop sends changes whenever it has a connection, so a coffee spilled in Midtown or a bag left on MARTA does not cost you a week of work.
Important folders are protected by default, including Desktop and Documents. When a computer is replaced, the new one gets the old files back with little effort. Backup status for every device shows up in one report, so missed machines are caught fast.
A backup that has never been restored is a guess. Every job is monitored, and failures open a ticket the same day. We do not wait for you to notice. Storage use, job length and missed devices are tracked so problems stay small.
On a regular schedule we perform test restores and record the results. You see proof that files open, databases start and servers boot. That record also helps when an insurer or a client asks how you protect their information.
Backup is only the first half. You also need to know what comes back first, how long it takes and who does what. We map your key systems, such as accounting, email and your main application, and set a realistic order for bringing them back.
That plan is written down in plain language and kept current as you add tools or staff. When something does fail, nobody is guessing. Your team knows who to call and roughly when they will be working again.
Lots of companies can fix a computer. These are the reasons Atlanta businesses give for choosing Stack Atlanta and sticking with us.
Our team knows which Midtown towers need paperwork before anyone enters the riser room, how summer storms affect power across the metro and how long it really takes to get from Downtown to Alpharetta at 5 p.m. That local knowledge turns into faster, calmer fixes.
Your network, devices and backups are watched day and night. Most problems are handled before anyone notices, and you get a plain explanation when something needs your decision.
A free assessment ends with a per-user quote listing every included service. No hourly surprises, no unexpected after-hours charges and no fine print about what counts as extra.
Backup needs look different from one part of the metro to the next. We tailor each plan to the building, the staff and the kind of data you hold.
Downtown offices sit in older towers with shared risers and strict building access. Managed IT here means coordinating with property management, keeping remote access reliable for MARTA commuters and scheduling heavier work after hours.
Wealth managers, insurance agencies and professional offices in Buckhead hold sensitive financial data. Managed IT keeps that data protected, backed up and documented for audits and insurers.
Creative studios and startups in converted buildings along the BeltLine grow quickly and work from anywhere. Managed IT keeps onboarding simple and separates guest Wi-Fi from the business network.
Design firms, showrooms and production companies in West Midtown move large files every day. They need strong networks, solid backups and workstations that keep up with demanding software.
Corporate offices and medical groups around the Perimeter often connect several locations. Managed IT monitors those links and gives every site the same help desk.
Fast-growing tech and fintech companies in Alpharetta add people every month. Managed IT makes every new hire’s laptop, accounts and access ready before the first day.
Clinics, nonprofits and small professional offices in Decatur need dependable systems without a big IT budget. A managed plan covers updates, backups and security for one monthly fee.
Regional offices near the Galleria and The Battery often support staff across the northwest suburbs. Managed IT keeps those offices connected and supported without long waits for a visit.
Many offices rely on a mix of tools that were never meant to work as a backup. Here is how a managed online backup compares.
| Topic | Stack Atlanta | External Drive or NAS | Cloud Sync Only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy kept off site | Yes, in a secure data center | No, sits in your office | Yes, but not as a true backup |
| Protects against ransomware | Locked older versions kept | Often encrypted with the network | Syncs the damage to every copy |
| Old versions of files | 30 days or more, set by you | Depends on setup, often none | Short recycle bin only |
| Monitoring | Checked daily, failures fixed | Rarely checked by anyone | Not monitored for you |
| Restore testing | Scheduled & documented | Almost never tested | Not tested |
| Covers whole servers | Yes, full image recovery | Sometimes, if configured | No, files only |
| Typical cost | Clear monthly fee by usage | Low upfront, hidden risk | Low monthly, big gaps |
The goal is simple: lose nothing important, and get back to work fast if something goes wrong.
Your servers, laptops and key files are copied every day without anyone clicking a thing.
A deleted folder or failed server comes back in hours instead of days of guessing.
Locked older versions mean an attack does not have to end with a ransom payment.
You pay a clear monthly fee based on what you protect, with no surprise recovery bills.
Backup works best alongside the rest of your IT, so these related services are worth a look.
Get whole systems running again after a major failure, fire or attack.
Business Data BackupSee the full approach to protecting every kind of business data.
Microsoft 365 BackupAdd a separate copy of your email, OneDrive & SharePoint data.
Ransomware RecoveryKnow the steps to take if attackers lock your files.
With our old provider, a broken laptop meant a ticket and a long wait. Now somebody picks up right away and most problems are gone before the call ends. The constant IT complaints in our office simply stopped.
We were worried about changing providers during our busiest season. The handover took about three weeks, email and files never stopped working and we received full documentation at the end.
Every repair used to come with its own invoice. Now it is one monthly amount, a short report and a conversation about upgrades before anything breaks. Budgeting for IT finally makes sense.
After a free assessment, you get a written quote that lists what is protected, how long copies are kept & the monthly cost.
Most small business plans are priced by the amount of data and number of devices protected. Typically that lands between a few dozen and a few hundred dollars a month for a small office. Larger servers and longer retention raise the price. You get a written quote after a free assessment.
No. Cloud storage such as OneDrive or Dropbox keeps working files available from anywhere. Online backup keeps separate, versioned copies so you can go back in time. If a file is deleted or encrypted, storage may pass the damage along. A backup keeps the good copy.
The first full copy is the slowest. For a small office with a few hundred gigabytes, it can take several days over a normal internet line. After that, only changes are sent, so nightly jobs are usually short and do not slow your staff.
It is one of your best defenses. Attackers try to destroy backups, so copies must be kept apart from your network and locked from changes. With that in place, you can restore clean data instead of paying. Good security tools still matter alongside it.
A single file or folder usually comes back in minutes. A full server takes longer and depends on its size and your internet speed. During planning we set recovery targets for your key systems so you know what to expect before anything fails.
Yes. Mailboxes, calendars, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams files can be backed up on a schedule. This covers deleted items, departed employees and account compromise. Microsoft protects its platform, but your data is your responsibility, so a separate copy is wise.
Data is encrypted before it leaves your office and stays encrypted while stored. Only you and your provider hold the keys. Reputable data centers add physical security, power backup and monitoring. Ask any provider where data is kept and who can access it.
It is your choice and it affects price. Many offices keep 30 days of daily copies plus monthly archives for a year or more. Some industries or contracts require longer. We set retention to match how you work and what your clients expect.
Backups pause and resume when the connection returns, so nothing is lost. For full server recovery, we can also keep a local copy on a device in your office for faster restores. That mix gives you speed on small problems and safety on big ones.
Contract length varies by provider, and you should ask before agreeing. We explain terms in the written quote, including what happens to your data if you leave. You should always be able to get your data back in a usable form.
