What is the 3-2-1 backup rule?

It means having 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy stored offsite (cloud).

How quickly can we recover from a server failure?

With our advanced continuity appliances, we can spin up a virtual copy of your failed server in minutes.

My hard drive is clicking. Can you recover the data?

Clicking indicates severe physical failure. Turn it off immediately to prevent platter damage. We partner with cleanroom facilities for advanced physical recoveries.

How long does data recovery take?

Logical recoveries take 2-4 days. Complex physical recoveries can take 1-2 weeks depending on the severity of the damage.

Do you offer a no-data, no-fee policy?

Yes, for standard personal data recovery cases, you only pay if we successfully recover your data.

Reliable data protection strategies and rapid recovery solutions for critical information.

Our experienced engineers deliver this service with enterprise-grade standards for businesses and individuals across South Florida.

Every business eventually faces a data-loss event — hardware failure, ransomware, accidental deletion, or natural disaster. The businesses that survive are the ones with a tested backup strategy in place before it happens. Skyce iT implements the 3-2-1 backup rule: three copies of your data, on two different media types, with one copy stored offsite.

For individuals, we recover lost photos, documents, and files from failing drives and accidentally deleted data, using advanced recovery techniques with a strong success rate.

For businesses, we design automated local and cloud backup systems with routine test restores, so you know your backups actually work before you ever need them in an emergency.

Real-World Examples

Critical files recovered after an SSD failureA company lost the SSD in the main computer holding its working files and had no current online copy or backup. Within 15 minutes of arriving onsite, we made the urgent files available again; the remaining approximately 3 TB was recovered later. We then set up a NAS, backup routines, and separate Google Drive and OneDrive synchronization workflows for added protection.

Backup planning for virtual serversConfigured backup coverage for Hyper-V and VMware ESXi workloads as part of virtual-machine migration work, with recovery considerations built into the plan.

Server ransomware recovery in 4 hoursAn accounting firm's server was hit by ransomware. Immutable backups allowed complete restoration within 4 hours with zero data loss.

Family photo recovery after drive failureA family's external hard drive failed, threatening 10 years of photos. Our cleanroom partnership recovered 98% of the data.
