Why "proves it restores" is the whole point
Most backups fail quietly. The program runs, the icon turns green, and nobody finds out the backup was empty until the day the computer dies. I've seen it happen to businesses that did everything right except check.
So VaultGuard Backup checks for you. Every week it pulls about fifty of your real files back out of the backup and compares them to the originals. It gives you one number, 0 to 100, for how much of your recovery has actually been proven. And when something fails, you get an email that says what and why. You don't get one when things go right.
Want to see where you stand today? The safety test asks nine questions and takes two minutes. No email, nothing saved.
For Kentucky businesses
Dental offices, funeral homes, churches, self-storage operators, sole proprietors. I set up backup that's been proven to restore, lock down the things that get small businesses hit, and check on it so you don't have to. It starts with a free 30-minute Data Safety Check: I look at what you have, tell you plainly what would and wouldn't survive a bad day, and you decide from there.
A backup isn't protection until you've proved you can recover.
Information Security Kentucky is one person, David Martin, in Hardin County. I help small businesses in central Kentucky stay recoverable, and I make VaultGuard Backup, the Windows backup that tests its own restores every week.

How I work
I don't sell storage, I don't hold your data, and the comparison pages on this site will tell you when to buy the competitor instead. I'd rather you have a backup that works than have mine. If something on this site doesn't match what you see on your screen, tell me and I'll fix it.
