If today's server failure wiped every file, how long until your business stops operating? MinuteMan IT builds tested backup and disaster recovery plans that keep your data safe across cloud and on-site storage — so you lose nothing when the inevitable happens. We've protected Gresham businesses since 2005.
Set-and-forget backups of all your important files to secure off-site cloud. Incremental daily updates, version history so you can go back in time
Fast-restore local storage for business-critical data. External disks or NAS that's faster to pull from than re-uploading gigabytes ofa data.
Isolated, tamper-proof backup storage immune to active cyberthreats. Tested annually so you actually work when a crisis hits.
With over 20 years of in-trench technical experience managing data for local enterprises, we know how technology fails under pressure. We built our backup plans for the worst-case scenarios so you can confidently focus on your business — not recovery after a crash.

Common questions from Gresham-area small business owners about backup and continuity.
Ideally on every file change — today's best systems capture updates in real time. At minimum, daily backups ensure you lose little to no data if something goes wrong between the last backup and now.
The safest setup uses both (3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 media types, 1 off-site). Cloud alone is vulnerable during regional outages; local storage ensures instant restore even when internet is down. Together they cover every failure mode.
Regular cloud copies can be encrypted too — our backups are built in isolated, ransomware-immune storage that attackers cannot touch. Tested restores prove the data stays usable even after an active attack.
That's exactly why continuity plans exist. Beyond backups, we map what happens when hardware fails: who assumes duties, how operations keep running, and how fast you restore from our tested process.
We design RTOs into every plan: most clients recover critical systems within 4 hours of an incident and full operations within 24 hours. The exact timeline depends on data volume and complexity, which we assess during your free consultation.
Yes — for healthcare, legal, finance, and government contractors we configure backups that meet HIPAA, PCI-DSS, state attorney general, and sector-specific retention rules. Documented compliance audits included.
No. Microsoft's shared responsibility model puts backup on you, not on them. Same for QuickBooks data. When OneDrive syncs or QB Online has an outage, you can lose everything. We back up cloud apps too.
Yes — we offer a free Backup Health Check: we audit your current setup, identify gaps, and deliver a written plan with specific steps (no obligation). Call or message us to schedule yours.
Your backups are 100% portable at any time. We use non-proprietary file formats and can provide a full copy within 48 hours of request. No lock-in clauses, no data holds, ever.
It depends on your existing tech stack. Gresham businesses typically already have Microsoft 365 (Azure) or are on-prem Exchange. We architect around your environment — not the other way around. Free consultation includes platform recommendation.
If you are reading this because something already happened — files deleted, server crashed, or you realize your backups don't work when tested — call us directly. We do free emergency assessments for Gresham businesses who need to verify their protection right now. No sales pitch, just an honest look before the data goes and it's too late.
Start with what matters most to your revenue: financial records, client contacts, operational data. We map those first then build outward. A proper plan includes tested restore procedures not just backup copies that sit there and never get opened until an emergency — half of businesses who lost data had backups they forgot about.
Once you lose data that's too late. Set up protection now — it takes hours, not days. We'll audit your current setup and show you exactly where your gaps are.
