Managed backup · Marco Island
Managed Backup for Marco Island Businesses
The first rule of a managed backup service on Marco Island: at least one copy of your data should never sleep on the island. NerdSquad Managed IT Services keeps encrypted copies of your files, email and systems in offsite storage on the mainland and beyond, so a flooded office doesn't take your records with it.
We also protect the laptops that leave with your staff, and we write a restore plan before storm season. It works alongside our IT support on Marco Island and cybersecurity for Marco Island businesses.
Why the backup can't live next to the server
A backup drive on the shelf beside the server is convenient until the same water, power surge or burglary reaches both. Island offices get one simple rule from us: the copy you'd restore from is somewhere else entirely.
Encrypted before it leaves your office, and while stored
Copies held offsite, out of reach of local damage
Immutable retention, so ransomware can't delete them
Automated monitoring that opens a ticket when a job fails
Rentals, realty and property managers
Owner statements, leases, reservation records and closing files are the hardest things to recreate. We make sure the systems that hold them are in the backup, including cloud apps and Microsoft 365.

Backups that leave the island, on the map
We run managed backup for Marco Island and Naples businesses from our Naples base, and for offices across Collier and Lee counties.
Where a city has its own backup page, its pin goes there; other pins lead to that city's IT support overview.
Laptops that leave with your staff
Before a storm, laptops leave the island with the people who use them. The data on them should be protected wherever they end up.
Endpoint backup
Backed up from any connection
Laptop backups run over the internet, so a machine at a relative's house in Fort Myers keeps backing up.
Encryption
A lost laptop isn't a lost client list
Drives are encrypted, so a laptop left in a rental car doesn't expose your files.
Replacement
New laptop, same files
If a laptop is damaged, we restore the user's files to a replacement and get them working again.
Your storm-season restore plan
Rank your systems
Which matters first: email, reservations, accounting or files? We decide the order with you.
Test before June
We run a restore test in the spring so problems surface on a calm day.
Pre-storm check
When a storm is forecast, we confirm the latest backups completed and remind staff to take laptops.
Recover from anywhere
If the office is closed, we restore data to laptops or cloud locations so your team can work from the mainland.

Marco Island backup questions
Where are our Marco Island backups actually stored?
In encrypted offsite storage away from the island, separate from your office equipment. We'll document the location and retention for your records.
Do laptops need to be in the office to back up?
No. Laptop backups run over any internet connection, so staff who evacuate or work from the mainland stay protected.
What should we do with backups when a storm is coming?
Nothing manual, if it's set up right. We confirm the latest offsite copies completed and remind staff to take their laptops. Unplugging local equipment is still a good idea.
Can you restore our files if the office is closed for weeks?
Yes. Restores don't depend on your building. We can restore data to laptops or cloud storage so your team works from wherever they are.
