A backup strategy is only useful if you have tested it. We design, implement, and verify backup and recovery plans that actually work when you need them.
The most common backup problem we encounter is not that backups are not running — it is that nobody has checked whether they are restorable. Backup processes get set up and forgotten. Hardware fills up. Cloud credentials expire. By the time there is an incident, the backup is either incomplete or cannot be restored.
We design backup strategies that are appropriate for the data and the risk, set them up properly, and test them. For FileMaker systems hosted on Clockwork Cloud, automated backup with verification is included in your hosting plan.
What needs backing up, how frequently, where it should be stored, and how long it should be retained. Designed around your actual data and your actual risk tolerance, not a generic template.
Local data backed up to secure cloud storage, providing protection against hardware failure, theft, fire, and other physical risks.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other cloud services are not automatically backed up by the provider. We put proper backup in place for cloud-held data.
A written plan for what happens when things go wrong. Who does what, in what order, and how long it should take to restore operations. Tested against your actual systems, not just documented.
A backup that has never been tested is a backup you cannot rely on. We run recovery tests to confirm that data can actually be restored in the time your business needs.
For FileMaker systems, automated hourly and daily backups with integrity verification are included on Clockwork Cloud hosting. We also support on-premise FileMaker Server backup configuration.
