Automatic off-site backup to major cloud providers (Azure, AWS, Backblaze, Wasabi). Encrypted, versioned, accessible from anywhere.
The 3-2-1 backup rule says: 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 off-site. The cloud is the most practical way to keep that 3rd off-site copy without managing a physical secondary site.
We set up your cloud backup with end-to-end encryption (you hold the key), multiple versions (you can restore a 30-day-old version), and automatic purging based on your retention policies.
Whether you have 50 GB or 50 TB, the cloud scales. And you only pay for what you actually use.
AES-256 before sending. No one but you (and us, if you give us the key) can read the data.
Not just the latest copy. We keep several versions to recover from ransomware or human error.
Configurable retention policies: 30 days, 90 days, 7 years depending on your requirements.
An untested backup isn't a backup. We verify periodically.
Overnight backups, deduplication, compression — without saturating your daytime Internet.
Success/failure reports, space used, alerts when something goes wrong.
Searching for backup solutions in Montreal usually brings up two very different things: a consumer sync tool that copies a folder, and a managed service that can rebuild your business after a ransomware attack, a flood or a stolen laptop. MTLBackup only does the second one. We design, run and test the backup, and we are the ones you call when something has to come back.
Microsoft and Google guarantee the availability of their platforms, not the recovery of your data. A mailbox emptied by a departing employee, a SharePoint library encrypted by ransomware or a file deleted six months ago is often gone for good. We copy your mail, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and Drive data every day to encrypted storage in Canada, independent from the provider, with 1 to 7 years of retention depending on your obligations. A single email or a whole account can be restored in minutes.
Physical and virtual servers, NAS units and the workstations your business cannot live without are backed up as full images. Recovery can target different hardware or run directly in the cloud while the machine is being replaced, so a dead server does not mean a dead week.
Data is encrypted with AES-256 before it leaves your office and you keep the keys. Versioning lets you go back to a clean copy from before an incident. Storage can stay in Canada (Backblaze, Wasabi East Canada) to simplify Quebec's Law 25 compliance, with logged access and SOC 2 certified providers.
Every month we perform and document a real restore. You receive the report: what was tested, how long it took and what needs to be fixed. A backup that has never been restored is only a hypothesis. This is the difference between a backup tool and a backup solution.
Montreal-area businesses from 5 to 100 employees: professional offices, clinics, agencies, manufacturers and retailers that have no IT department but cannot afford to lose a day of data. Pricing is per terabyte protected, with no surprise restore fees.

We assess your current setup and cost out a tailored solution. No commitment.
Backblaze B2 and Wasabi cost about 5 to 7 $ per TB per month and are the cheapest for large volumes. Azure and AWS cost 3 to 5 times more but integrate natively with Microsoft 365. We recommend based on your data volume and your existing tools.
Yes. Data is encrypted with AES-256 before transfer, you keep the keys, and it is encrypted again at rest at the provider. The provider cannot read your files.
For about 1 TB of protected data, expect 50 $ to 150 $ per month, including 90 days of retention and unlimited restores. Microsoft 365 backup is priced per user.
Yes, when configured correctly: encrypted data, logged access and a SOC 2 certified provider. Storage can remain in Canada with Backblaze or Wasabi East Canada.
Individual files and mailboxes come back in minutes. A full server image can be booted in the cloud or on replacement hardware within hours, and the monthly restore test tells you the real figure for your setup.
