OST provides managed data backup and disaster recovery for small businesses and non-profits across Rhode Island — automated, monitored, and tested, so your business can recover from anything from a deleted file to a failed server.
Backup Is Only Useful If It Actually Works
Plenty of businesses have a backup running. Far fewer have confirmed it would actually restore when needed. An unmonitored backup quietly fails, and you find out at the worst possible moment. We run backups that are automated, monitored daily, and tested with real restores — so the protection is real, not assumed.
What We Back Up
A complete backup plan covers more than one server:
- Servers and workstations
- Microsoft 365 — email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams
- Line-of-business applications and databases
- Local and offsite copies of your data
Why Microsoft 365 Backup Matters
Many business owners assume Microsoft fully backs up their 365 data. It does not. Microsoft keeps the service running, but recovering data lost to an accidental deletion, a departing employee, or a compromised account is your responsibility. We add dedicated backup for your Microsoft 365 environment so that data is genuinely protected.
Disaster Recovery, Not Just Copies of Files
Backup is copies of your data. Disaster recovery is a plan for getting your business running again — after a failed server, a ransomware attack, or a building you cannot get into. We define how quickly you need to be back up, build the recovery process to match, and test it, so a bad day does not become a closed business. Modern ransomware targets backups directly, which is why offsite, protected copies and tested recovery are essential.
