Verified Backups
Go beyond simple database backups. We verify your backups daily.
Most businesses assume their backups will work when disaster strikes. Unfortunately, many only discover the truth when it is too late.
Databases are far more complex than files. They contain relationships, transactions, and constantly changing data. A backup alone does not guarantee that your database can be restored and used.
Databases are not just storage — they are structured systems that must remain consistent and intact to function properly.
Verified Backups focuses specifically on databases — not just data.
We do not just store backups. We fully restore and verify your databases every day to ensure they are functional, clean, and ready when you need them.
Why Traditional Backups Fail
The best way to recover from ransomware, hardware failure, fire, flood, or other disasters is to have a viable backup of your most critical database systems. But how do you know your database backup is:
Functional and complete
Unfortunately, this process is time-consuming and requires specialized expertise. As a result:
25% of companies never test their disaster recovery plan
Of those that do, 50% test only once per year
How Verified Backups Works
Verified Backups was designed to eliminate uncertainty.
Every day, we:
- Create full backups of your critical databases
- Encrypt your data using high-security standards
- Perform a complete restore of each database in a separate environment
- Verify that the data is functional, clean, and recoverable
This process proves — not assumes — that your database can be restored and used when it matters most.
What We Protect
We specialize in protecting database-driven systems that require structure, relationships, and data integrity, including:
ERP systems
Payroll and accounting databases
Proof You Can Trust
Verified Backups was created by Chris Marshall, a lifelong entrepreneur and 32-year owner of a successful IT consulting business.
Over the years, he saw a recurring problem — clients had backups, but when it came time to restore their databases, things failed. Data was incomplete, corrupted, or unusable.
Database systems are not simple files. They depend on structure, relationships, and consistency. Without proper testing, a backup can give a false sense of security.
Verified Backups was built on one principle:
A database backup is only valuable if it has been fully restored and proven to work.
