Copyright © 2026 Everyday Backups · everydaybackups.com · Secure cloud backup for small business & personal files
Free, no-obligation guides and self-checks to help small offices find recovery gaps before they get expensive.
Periodic bound book exports and the printed or PDF copies kept on the office PC, scanned transfer paperwork, distributor invoices and packing lists, gunsmithing work orders and customer receipts, range waivers and membership rosters, class and training rosters, serialized inventory photos for insurance, and the accounting file. A single-location dealer keeps supporting documents far longer than most retail businesses, and those documents are what let a shop rebuild its own records if the office PC is lost. What a retail counter, gunsmith bench, or range needs backed up, and what a backup service plainly does not do for you.
For Your IndustryScanned logbook pages and airworthiness paperwork, major-repair-and-alteration forms, work orders and parts invoices, AD compliance spreadsheets, weight-and-balance records, student training folders and endorsements, rental and checkout agreements, dispatch exports, and the fuel and Hobbs logs a Part 61 school or A&P shop runs on.
For Your IndustryNight-audit report exports, guest folio and registration scans, housekeeping and maintenance work orders, franchise brand-standard and QA inspection binders, group and event contracts, OTA reconciliation and commission statements, payroll and tip records, inspection certificates, incident report packets, and vendor W-9s and certificates of insurance. A lodging property closes its books every single night and creates a folio for every stay, so the record set on the front-desk PC grows 365 days a year. What an independent or small-flag operator needs to protect when a brand representative asks for the QA binder on short notice, a guest calls back about a charge from last season, or a storm reaches the office computer.
Read the guide → GuideThe truck gets broken into, the bag walks off at a hotel, and the whole business goes with it: the desktop folder of quotes, the accounting company file, the signed contracts and W-9s, the job photos nobody uploaded yet, the price list and proposal templates built up over years. A stolen laptop is different from ransomware or a planned upgrade, because there is no device left to recover from. The only thing that decides the outcome is what left the building before the laptop did, and a backup drive riding in the same bag is one theft away from being zero copies. What is actually gone, what businesses commonly do first, and the difference between can I keep working and did someone read my files. Managed, encrypted, off-site backup for Windows, from $5.99/mo.
GuideThe signed contract, the completed W-9, the certificate of insurance, the scanned invoice: plenty of small businesses have documents that exist nowhere except as an attachment. Sent Items ends up doing the job of a project archive, a shared front-desk mailbox lives on exactly one PC, auto-archive rules move old mail into a local file instead of copying it, and a local mail data file sits in a profile folder nobody can find. Nobody chose email as the filing cabinet; it happened one attachment at a time. What to pull out of the inbox, why an exported copy is the reliable path, and what a backup here actually covers. Everyday Backups protects the files on your PC and does not back up cloud mailboxes or do message-level restore. Managed, encrypted, off-site backup for Windows, from $5.99/mo.
For Your IndustryClient practice contracts and service agreements, fee schedules and rate sheets, payer enrollment and credentialing paperwork you track as your own record, AR and collections worksheets, month end reports built for each practice, staff scheduling and payroll, and the templates and workflow documentation your team runs on. A billing company sits between several practices at once, so one office computer going down stalls reporting for every client at the same time. This page is about your own business files, not patient records: Everyday Backups is not a HIPAA or PHI solution and makes no compliance claims. Managed, encrypted, off-site backup for Windows, from $5.99/mo.
GuideWork saved to a desktop instead of a shared folder, business files in someone's personal Dropbox or Google Drive, the signed contract that only exists in a personal inbox, and the company laptop wiped and reissued before anyone checked it. Turnover is the one data-loss event you can see coming, and the window to recover closes on someone else's timeline, not yours. What a backup actually solves here, what it does not, and the questions worth answering before the next departure. Managed, encrypted, off-site backup for Windows, from $5.99/mo.
For Your IndustryClient contracts and proposals, event timelines and run-of-show documents, floor plans and seating charts, vendor contracts and contact lists, budgets and payment schedules, design boards and inspiration libraries, guest lists and RSVP tracking, deposits and invoicing, and QuickBooks. An event happens once on a fixed date, and the planner holds the timeline and vendor list every other vendor works from, so a file lost the week of the event cannot be rebuilt on any useful schedule. Managed, encrypted, off-site backup for Windows, from $5.99/mo.
For Your IndustrySite surveys and roof measurements, shade analyses and production models, system designs and layout drawings, permit and plan sets, interconnection application packets and utility correspondence, inspection and commissioning photos, equipment serial numbers and warranty registrations, customer contracts and financing paperwork, and QuickBooks. Managed, encrypted, off-site backup for Windows, from $5.99/mo.
For Your IndustryOwner and unit records, dues and assessment ledgers, delinquency history, board and annual meeting minutes, governing documents and CC&R copies, architectural-review requests and approvals, violation correspondence, reserve studies and budgets, vendor contracts and insurance certificates, work orders, and QuickBooks. What a community association manager or a self-managed board needs to protect so that a records handoff, a disputed approval, or a failed office PC does not erase the association's own history.
GuideDropbox syncs and shares files well, but sync carries deletions and ransomware to every linked device, version history varies by plan, and any member of a shared folder can remove your only copy. The real gaps, and what a complete 3-2-1 plan adds.
For Your IndustryThe resident census, admission and residency paperwork, private-pay and family billing, staff schedules and shift rosters, payroll, dietary and activity calendars, vendor contracts and insurance certificates, building maintenance logs, waitlist and tour follow-ups, and QuickBooks all live on one or two Windows computers in the business office of a small assisted living or senior living community. The building runs on people; the record of who lives there, who is working tonight, and who has been billed runs on that office PC. A practical 3-2-1 backup plan for small and independent senior living operators, grounded in CISA and FTC guidance. A general file-backup service for ordinary business files only, not a medical-records, eMAR, medication-record, clinical-care, state-licensing, or survey compliance tool.
For Your IndustryClient and pet profile records, temperament and authorized-pickup notes, vaccination-record copies kept as business files, boarding and daycare reservation calendars, kennel and run assignments, check-in and check-out logs, belongings lists, grooming before-and-after photos, signed intake forms and waivers, billing and payroll. What a grooming salon, kennel, or daycare needs to protect so that a peak-season Saturday morning still has both the calendar and the pet record behind it.
Read the guide → For Your IndustryReservation and booking records, guest communication logs, owner statements and payout history, cleaning and turnover schedules, listing photo libraries, rental agreements, pre-stay and post-stay inspection photos, vendor and cleaner records, and the accounting behind all of it. What a short-term rental manager needs to protect when an owner asks for a year of statements, a turnover list has to be rebuilt before a 4pm check-in, or peak season arrives with the photo library missing.
Read the guide → For Your IndustrySlip and dry-stack rental agreements, reservation records, boat-sales deal jackets and F&I documents, service work orders and repair histories, parts and inventory records, customer and vessel records, fuel-dock and POS records, haul-out and winterization schedules, warranty claim paperwork, and the accounting behind all of it. What a marina, dealership, or marine service shop needs to protect when sales, service, storage, and slip rental all run out of one office.
Read the guide → For Your IndustryAppointment and scheduling records, billing and payment history, membership and treatment-package balances, before-and-after image libraries kept for marketing, product and injectable ordering and vendor records, staff schedules and credential copies, payroll and QuickBooks. The business files a medical aesthetics practice runs on, and how to tell whether they would actually come back.
Read the guide → For Your IndustryDesign and concept boards, renderings, floor and furniture plans, product specifications and selection schedules, purchase orders and vendor acknowledgements, room and install photo libraries, proposals and invoices, and the accounting behind it all. What an interior design studio needs to protect, and how to know the files a client already paid for would actually come back.
Read the guide → For Your IndustryCustomer quotes and room measurements, sample and product catalogs, vendor price lists, installation schedules and installer records, special orders, warranty and claim documentation kept as business records, job photos taken once on a job that is already finished, and QuickBooks all sit on the showroom computer and the back office PC. A flooring job is measured to order, so the quote and the diagram behind it cannot be recreated from the product on the shelf. A practical 3-2-1 backup plan for flooring, carpet, and tile retail and installation businesses, grounded in CISA and FTC guidance. A general file-backup service for operational business files only, not a flooring-warranty, moisture, subfloor, installation-standard, or compliance tool.
For Your IndustryRental contracts and agreements, the reservation calendar that promises specific units on specific dates, delivery and pickup schedules, the asset register tying every serial number to its purchase and service history, maintenance and inspection logs kept as operational service records, check-out and check-in condition photos taken once and never repeatable, deposits and billing, vendor records, and QuickBooks all live on one or two Windows computers in the rental office. The equipment is out on jobs and at weekend events; the only record of what went where, and when it is due back, is not. A practical 3-2-1 backup plan for tool, construction-equipment, and party and event rental businesses, grounded in CISA and FTC guidance. A general file-backup service for operational business files only, not a rental-liability, damage-waiver, insurance, equipment-safety, inspection, or record-retention compliance tool.
GuideA local-only copy does not survive a local disaster, so at least one copy has to be off-site. A calm, practical checklist for Gulf Coast and Florida small businesses: how to confirm the off-site copy actually exists and is current, how to run a real test restore while the power and internet are still on, where to keep your installer and account login so you can recover from a borrowed computer, what to do before you evacuate, and why the external drive in the office and the office server are both in the same building as the water. Grounded in CISA 3-2-1 guidance. No storm predictions, no closure statistics, and no insurance or claims advice.
For Your IndustryDispatch and call logs, tow tickets and invoices, impound lot records showing which unit arrived when and what storage has accrued, scene and damage photos taken once at the hook and never repeatable, motor club and rotation paperwork, driver files, truck and equipment maintenance logs, and QuickBooks all live on one or two Windows computers in the office. The trucks are out on calls; the record of the whole operation is not. A practical 3-2-1 backup plan for towing, wrecker, roadside recovery, and impound operators, grounded in CISA and FTC guidance. A general file-backup service for operational business files only, not a lien, abandoned-vehicle, titling, rotation-list, DOT, FMCSA, or record-retention compliance tool.
