Backup and recovery that keeps your records safe
Lease agreements, accounting records, and owner financials represent years of work. ArcTechOne builds backup and recovery for property management firms in Seattle, Tacoma, and the Puget Sound — so a ransomware attack or hardware failure becomes a recovery, not a disaster.
A property management firm cannot operate without its records. Lease agreements, applications, owner financials, and the email that ties it all together represent years of work. Lose access to them, even for a day, and leasing stalls, accounting stops, and owners start asking questions.
ArcTechOne builds backup and recovery that fits how property managers work. We back up the files and systems that matter, keep both cloud and local copies, and design everything so that a ransomware attack or a failed server becomes a recovery, not a disaster.
Just as important, we test our restores. A backup you have never recovered from is a promise you have never checked, and we would rather know it works before you need it.
Backups built for property management records
The right copies, kept in the right places, tested so you can rely on them.
- Backups of what matters — Lease files, accounting records, email, and shared documents backed up on a schedule that fits your firm.
- Cloud and local copies — Copies kept both offsite in the cloud and locally, so you have options no matter what goes wrong.
- Ransomware recovery — Backups designed so that if ransomware hits, you can restore your files instead of paying a ransom.
- Recovery testing — We test restores so you know your backups actually work before you ever need them in a crisis.
- Retention that fits — We keep the right history of your records to match how property managers need to look back.
- Business continuity — A plan to get a leasing office back to work quickly after hardware failure, theft, or disaster.
The records your firm runs on
- Lease agreements, applications, and resident documents
- Accounting records, ledgers, and owner financial files
- Email for leasing, accounting, and management staff
- Shared drives and the documents your offices rely on
- Records you may need to look back on months or years later
- The systems a leasing office needs to reopen after an outage
Continuity for leasing offices
Recovery is about more than files. When a leasing office loses a computer to theft, hardware failure, or a flooded suite, the question is how fast that office can take applications and process payments again.
We plan for that, so your team has a path back to work measured in hours rather than days, and so a single bad event at one location does not bring your firm to a stop.

Common questions
What should a property management firm back up?
At a minimum, you should back up your lease files and resident documents, your accounting and owner financial records, your email, and the shared drives your offices depend on. These are the records that keep a property management firm running and that would be painful or impossible to recreate. We help you identify everything important and make sure it is covered on a regular schedule.
How does backup help against ransomware?
Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment to release them. With good backups, you have another option: restore your data from a clean copy instead of paying. We design backups so that recent, working copies of your files are kept separate from your main systems, which is what makes a real recovery possible after an attack.
How do we know our backups actually work?
Backups that have never been tested are a gamble. A backup is only useful if you can restore from it, so we test restores rather than assume they work. That way, if a leasing office loses a server or a key file gets corrupted, you already know recovery is possible and roughly how long it will take.
Why keep both cloud and local copies?
Each type of copy protects against a different problem. A local copy can restore quickly over your own network, while a cloud copy survives a fire, theft, or flood at the office. Keeping both gives you fast recovery for everyday issues and offsite protection for the worst cases. We tailor the mix to your firm and budget.
How long should we keep our records?
Property management often requires looking back at past records, whether for an owner question, a resident dispute, or your own accounting. We set retention so you keep enough history to cover how your firm operates, without holding onto so much that storage becomes wasteful. We can adjust retention as your needs change.
