"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.
