The Test Nobody Runs

Most small businesses think they have backups. There’s a drive in the corner, a cloud subscription, or a button someone clicked last year. It all feels fine — until the day you actually need the data back. That’s when the truth comes out: the backup was empty, broken, or weeks out of date.
We’ve seen it across Brevard County — Melbourne offices, Palm Bay clinics, Cocoa shops. The file is gone, the server is dead, and the “backup” won’t open. At that point, it’s not just data you’ve lost. It’s time, customers, and trust.
The Risks of Untested Backups
- Ransomware hits, the backup is encrypted too.
- A staff member deletes the wrong folder, but the cloud only keeps 30 days.
- The external drive stopped syncing months ago. Nobody noticed.
Each one feels unlikely — until it happens. And when it does, recovery costs more than months of managed service.
The MSP Difference
Backups don’t count unless they restore. That’s why DSI treats them as part of managed IT, not a side project:
- We test restores regularly, not just assume.
- We keep multiple versions, so you can roll back weeks or months.
- We use hybrid cloud + local backups, so you’re protected against both server crashes and internet outages.
- We monitor backups daily and fix issues before they matter.
A Local Story
A Cocoa business called us after ransomware locked their files. Their old provider had set up backups, but never tested them. Every file was corrupted. With DSI, their backups would have been checked, verified, and restored within hours.
The DSI Advantage
For nearly 30 years, Digital Systems Integration (DSI) has kept Space Coast businesses running. Our managed backups mean:
- No surprises when you need data most.
- Flat monthly pricing instead of emergency bills.
- Local support that shows up when it matters.
