"What would you do if you LOST ALL OF THE FILES on your computer today?"

If you're like most small business owners, you've got a hundred things on your plate — backups probably aren't at the top of your list.

But every day, businesses lose critical data to:

  • Hardware failures
  • Accidental deletions
  • Ransomware attacks
  • Corrupt drives
  • Power outages

And when it happens, it hurts. Lost income. Downtime. Angry clients. Stress.

Sometimes, the business never recovers.

Hi, I'm Les Larson — "The Backup Guy"

I've spent over 25 years helping small businesses keep their data safe. I've seen businesses crash because they had no reliable backup… and I've seen businesses bounce back instantly because they were protected.

That's why I built Fortress, a backup solution that's simple, affordable, and rock-solid.

Meet Fortress

Your automatic, unlimited online backup system for small businesses.


Fortress protects your data quietly in the background — every day — so you don't have to think about it.

Automatic, daily backup

Runs quietly in the background. No interruptions, no reminders.

Daily notification

You'll receive a daily email with the status of your latest backup.

Unlimited storage — truly unlimited

Local drives, USB drives, external drives, mapped drives — all included.

No caps. No tiers. No upsells.

Restore any version of any file

Grab yesterday's version… or the version from six months ago.

Flat-rate pricing: only $13.95/month

That's less than 50 cents a day to protect your entire business.

14-Day FREE Trial

Full access. Full features. Full support. No obligation.

No contracts. No hidden fees. No surprises.

Cancel anytime — you'll never be locked in.

Designed Specifically for Small Businesses

Attorneys, accountants, architects, small offices, independent professionals — if you've got 1 to 10 employees, Fortress is built for you.

Because you don't need a giant, complicated system.

You need something that just works.

How It Works

  • Sign-up for your FREE Fortress trial.
  • Download and install Fortress onto your Windows workstation or server.
  • Select files and folders you want to back up.
  • Select the time(s) you want your backups to run.

That’s it — Fortress runs quietly in the background every day, keeping your data protected.

Need help? Just give us a call. We can walk you through the setup or even handle the entire process for you, free of charge.

Real Support. From a Real Person.

Anytime you need or want help or just have a question, you won't be routed to a call center or a chatbot.

You'll talk to me — Les — or one of my in-house specialists.

Fortress setup takes 10‐12 minutes, and if you like, I'll help you personally.

We install it, configure it, and test your first backup with you.

At no extra cost.
