Small business backup
Most small businesses find out the difference between synced and backed up in the middle of an incident. Encrypted backup with a year of version history, three copies and one of them offsite.

The gap
Almost every small business believes it's covered. Files are in the cloud, there's a drive in the office, the laptops sync somewhere. It feels handled.
The trouble is that most of that is storage, not backup. Storage mirrors whatever is on the machine right now. Delete the wrong folder, save over a working file, or let ransomware through, and the copy changes to match. There's no earlier version to return to, because keeping earlier versions was never the job.
A no to any of those is worth knowing now rather than during an incident.
What it costs you
When a business loses data, the invoices and documents are rarely gone forever — they can often be rebuilt from email, from the bank, from the client. What hurts is the time. A week of rebuilding records is a week nobody spends on actual work, and it lands at the worst possible moment, usually while customers are still waiting.
That's the real argument for versioned backup. It turns a week into an afternoon.
What you get
Every plan keeps one year of version history, so you can go back to before the file was deleted, overwritten or encrypted.
AES-256 applied on the machine, so your files are already encrypted in transit and at rest.
Primary and replica on servers we own and operate, plus a third in a different region. One bad day at one site can't take everything.
If a machine was switched off when a backup was due, it runs the next time it's on. Nothing to restart by hand.
Windows, macOS, Linux and Synology NAS on one plan and one bill. A NAS counts as one of your devices.
Support comes from the people who run the servers, not a ticket queue or a scripted first tier.
Getting started
Start with whatever holds your records, client work and accounts. You don't have to do everything on day one.
Pick the folders that would hurt to lose. Leave out the things you could reinstall or download again.
Backups run automatically twice a day. If a machine was off when one was due, it catches up the next time it's on.
Pull a single file back within the first week. It takes five minutes, and it's the only way to know the whole thing works.
Regulated work
If you handle protected health information, or personal data belonging to people in the EU or UK, the paperwork matters as much as the encryption.
Gopher Backup is designed to meet HIPAA requirements, and HIPAA compliance requires a signed Business Associate Agreement. GDPR compliance requires an appropriate data processing agreement. If either applies to you, talk to us before you sign up so the arrangement is confirmed in writing rather than assumed.
Questions
Those services sync and store, which is a different job. They mirror the current state of your files, so a deletion or an encryption event is reflected in the copy. Backup keeps dated versions you can return to.
One year of version history, on every plan.
Yes. Windows, macOS, Linux and Synology NAS are all supported, and each counts as one of your plan's devices.
Designed to meet HIPAA requirements, with a signed Business Associate Agreement required. Contact us before signing up if you handle protected health information.
Primary and replica copies on servers we own and operate, plus a third copy offsite in a different region.
No. Month to month, with a 14-day free trial, cancel anytime.
Fourteen days free, no contract. Protect the machines that run the business first, and add the rest when you're ready.
