Tested restores. Written plans. No surprises.
Winnipeg backup and disaster recovery that works
A backup is only as good as the last time it was successfully restored. Finch Computers designs the backup and disaster recovery Winnipeg businesses need, and tests it, so a failed drive, a stolen laptop or a ransomware attack is an inconvenience instead of a catastrophe.
Backup and Disaster Recovery.
Covered.
Server and workstation backup
Automated, encrypted image and file backups for critical systems.
Cloud and Microsoft 365 backup
Email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data protected beyond Microsoft’s own retention.
On site plus off site copies
Fast local restores combined with secure cloud copies for site level disasters.
Ransomware resilient storage
Immutable and isolated backup copies that attackers cannot encrypt or delete.
Restore testing
Regular test restores to prove your data actually comes back.
Disaster recovery plan
A written, practical plan that says who does what, and how fast you are back.
Why Winnipeg businesses invest in it
Hardware fails
Every drive eventually dies. Planning for it is the only question.
Ransomware targets backups
Modern attacks go after backups first, so they must be isolated and immutable.
Downtime costs money
Every hour without your systems is lost revenue and idle staff.
If you had to recover tomorrow,
what would come back?
Already have backups? A readiness assessment checks them independently: who owns the backup subscription, what Microsoft 365, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, server and application data is actually protected, how long it is kept, and whether it restores. We run recovery tests and document who is responsible for each step.

common questions
Doesn’t Microsoft back up our Microsoft 365 data?
Microsoft keeps the service running, but its retention is limited. A separate Microsoft 365 backup protects you from deletion, corruption and ransomware.
How often should backups run?
Critical systems are typically backed up multiple times per day. We set the schedule based on how much data you can afford to lose.
How do we know our backups work?
We test restores on a regular schedule and report the results to you.
Is there a recognized guide for recovering from ransomware?
Yes. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security publishes a ransomware playbook that recommends isolated backups, tested restores and a written response plan. Our backup and disaster recovery Winnipeg services are built on the same principles, so you can recover without negotiating with criminals.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
A backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and the tools to get your business running again, including which systems come back first, how long it should take and who does what. You need both, and both need to be tested.
