Data Management & Backup

Protect What Matters: A Backup System That Works

From automated backup setup to data recovery assistance, we help you build a reliable data management foundation for your business.

Accidental deletion, hardware failure, ransomware — data loss can happen in many ways. What separates recoverable incidents from disasters is whether a tested, reliable backup process was in place beforehand. KGA assesses your current data landscape and designs a backup strategy tailored to your actual needs.

A backup that has never been tested is not a backup — it is a hope. Our workflow includes a mandatory restore drill so you know your backups work before you need them. We document every step so your team can repeat the process confidently going forward.

Many clients ask whether cloud storage is safe. Cloud services significantly reduce the risk of physical hardware loss, but misconfigured permissions or sync settings introduce their own risks. We handle the setup and access control design so the service is both convenient and appropriately secured from day one.

How We Work

  1. 1

    Data Inventory Audit

    We map what data exists, where it lives, and how critical it is to your operations. This forms the basis for every decision that follows.

  2. 2

    Backup Strategy Design

    We define backup frequency, retention periods, and storage locations — local, cloud, or a hybrid — based on your operational requirements and budget.

  3. 3

    Tool and Service Selection

    We recommend backup tools and cloud services that fit your existing environment, walking you through the cost and trade-offs of each option.

  4. 4

    Automation Setup

    We configure scheduled backups, encryption, and alert notifications so the process runs without manual intervention each day.

  5. 5

    Restore Drill

    We perform a full restore test to verify data integrity. No deployment is signed off until this step passes successfully.

  6. 6

    Handover and Documentation

    We produce a clear operations guide covering routine checks and incident response steps, and walk your team through it before closing the engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should backups run?
It depends on how frequently your data changes. Critical business data typically warrants daily backups; less volatile data may suit weekly. We assess your workflow and recommend a schedule accordingly.
Where is the data stored?
Storage location — local, cloud, or both — is chosen based on your requirements and budget. For cloud options, we can confirm the geographic location of the data center used by the selected service.
Can you recover a file I deleted six months ago?
Only if a backup taken before the deletion still exists within your retention window. If your current setup does not cover that period, we can configure long-term retention going forward to prevent the same gap.
What about ransomware — can backups help?
Yes, if the backup is isolated from the compromised network. Ransomware typically encrypts connected storage, so offline backups or cloud backups with write-protection are particularly effective. We factor this into the backup architecture we design.
We already use Google Drive or OneDrive. Is that enough?
Sync services are not equivalent to backups. They replicate deletions and file overwrites almost immediately. We can assess your current setup and add a proper versioned backup layer on top of existing services if needed.
