Backup & Disaster Recovery in New Orleans and surrounding areas.

What this service covers

In Southeast Louisiana, disaster recovery is not theoretical: hurricanes, extended power loss, and flooding are part of the operating environment, and ransomware does not care what parish you are in. Mike's IT Consulting verifies that your backups exist, restore, and survive the scenarios that actually happen here.

What's included

• Backup coverage inventory: servers, workstations, Microsoft 365, and line-of-business data.
• Microsoft 365 backup review — Microsoft does not back up your mailboxes and files the way most owners assume.
• Restore testing, because a backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan.
• Ransomware resilience: offline, offsite, or immutable copies attackers cannot encrypt.
• Recovery objectives in business terms: how much data you can lose and how long you can be down.
• A written recovery runbook, including hurricane-season and extended-outage scenarios.

Common problems this fixes

• Backup jobs that report success but have never actually been restored.
• A single backup copy sitting on a drive in the same building as the server.
• The assumption that Microsoft 365 data is automatically backed up.
• No written plan for who does what when systems are down.

Best fit

Every business in Southeast Louisiana, frankly — but especially those with a server, irreplaceable data, or a bad memory of the last hurricane season.
