Your Backups Are Broken. You Just Don't Know It Yet.

Most small businesses believe they’re protected because they "have backups."

In reality, many backups fail the moment they’re needed.

In this video, you’ll learn the 3 most common backup mistakes SMBs make and why those mistakes lead to extended downtime, data loss, and failed ransomware recovery.

What this video covers:

Why untested backups are unreliable

Why online-only backups are easy targets for ransomware

Why having no recovery plan turns small incidents into major outages

You’ll also get a simple, practical framework you can use this week to verify your backups actually work, without buying new tools or adding complexity.

Action step:
Pick one critical system and perform a test restore. That single habit dramatically reduces business risk.

This video is designed for small business owners, solo founders, and non-technical teams who want real protection
