Backups and basic security before something breaks.

Know what matters, who owns the accounts, and where recoverable copies live before wiping, replacing, or resetting equipment.

Files

Backup reality check

Confirm what is backed up, how often it runs, where it is stored, and whether a restore has been tested.

Accounts

Ownership and recovery

Identify recovery methods for Microsoft, Google, Apple, ISP, domain, camera, router, and smart-home accounts.

Network

Router cleanup

Review unknown devices, guest access, camera/smart-device separation, remote access, weak passwords, and old firmware.

Risk

Change carefully

Get help before wiping PCs, replacing routers, changing passwords everywhere, or buying backup hardware blindly.

Good backup planning is boring on purpose.

The goal is not a pile of apps. The goal is a recoverable plan that normal people can understand during a stressful failure.
