Data Protection Made Simple

Every small business along the Gulf Coast thrives on data—customer records, financials, project files, the works. Cyclone 365 has seen firsthand how easily a single mishap can shut a company down, and FEMA statistics back that up: forty percent of businesses never reopen after a disaster, and another twenty-five percent close within twelve months. The good news? You don’t need an enterprise budget to stay off that list.

Why Backups Can’t Wait
Hard-drive crashes, accidental deletions, storms, and ransomware all hit without warning. Regular, automated backups give you a safety net so operations keep moving even when hardware or humans stumble.

Build a Resilient Plan

1. Adopt Cloud and Local Storage Together
   A hybrid approach means fast on-site restores when seconds count, plus off-site copies that stay safe if your office floods.

2. Automate Everything
   Nightly incremental backups for critical data, weekly system images, and monthly archives keep history intact without relying on memory or sticky notes.

3. Track Your Space
   Schedule monthly storage checks and keep at least one-quarter of your backup drive free so emergency copies never fail for lack of room.

4. Test, Then Test Again
   Quarterly recovery drills confirm that files restore cleanly and that your recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) stay realistic.

5. Train the Team
   Straightforward guidelines on where to save files and how to spot phishing links turn employees into your first layer of defense.

6. Version Your Data
   Keeping three or more historical snapshots protects you from overwrites, corruption, and malware encryption.

Cyclone 365’s managed backup and disaster-recovery services handle these steps for you—designing the policy, automating schedules, and monitoring results—so you can focus on running your Gulf Coast business with confidence.
