A Broad Street shop’s sales records, a Lake Barcroft family’s photo library, a home office near the W&OD Trail: everything on a computer is one failure away from gone. We set up backups that quietly protect it all.
For small businesses, we make sure you can restore quickly and keep serving customers.

Data backup in Falls Church protects households and the small offices along Broad Street. Many offices rely on one shared computer or drive, and without a backup a single failure can stop work for days.
We set up nightly backups for shared files, keep a copy off-site and test that files can be restored. For homes, we protect photos and documents automatically on every computer.
Nightly backups for a small office
Shared files should back up every night to a local drive and a cloud service. We set it up, document how to restore a file and check it periodically so you are not surprised when you need it. The free Business IT Health Check covers backups too.

What customers say
Daryl has been my go-to-guy for years. I have always found him to be very responsive and great at diagnosing problems. Recently, I had a hard drive failure on a Friday when I urgently needed my computer over the weekend. Daryl was able to get me up and running until he could install a new drive on Monday. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL! We are fortunate to have him in our neighborhood.Read full review
My teenager did not properly back up her laptop. So, when it totally crashed she lost access to her English final and all her junior year school files. In a panic we called Daryl on a Sat morning. He was able to retrieve all her files and make them available for use on either a PC or Mac. We have both and were not sure which computer would be used to finish up the school year. We had the all her files by 6pm that same Sat. You will not go wrong with Daryl. His prices are reasonable and we found him knowledgeable and honest. We will be using Daryl again for any future problems.Read full review
I found Mount Vernon Computer Repair in the mist of a crisis with my work laptop. I had accidentally caused water damage and was panicked that I’d not only destroyed my laptop but lost all my important files. Working with Daryl was great. He called me back promptly, examined and diagnosed my computer all in the same day. He runs a very honest business and explained that the damage was so extensive it would be more affordable to replace the laptop. Luckily my data could be saved which was a relief. I work for a non profit that assists our wounded service members and we work tirelessly to ensure 94 cents of every dollar goes to our mission. Though his price was very fair, my organization had decided that it was in our best interest to wait on purchasing any data recovery services. When I explained the situation to Daryl he researched our organization and decided to donate his time and services to save my files. I was speechless at his generosity. He single-handedly recovered all my files and allowed me to continue working without missing a beat. I had all my files back within less than 24 hours!! Daryl is very knowledgeable, professional, a pleasure to work with and a great guy. I really cannot thank him enough for his donation and generosity. I am so glad I called Mount Vernon Computer Repair! Daryl saved the day and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing help with computer set up and/or repairs. Thank you Daryl!!Read full review
Questions from Falls Church neighbors
Can you back up my business’s point-of-sale or accounting files?
Yes. We’ll identify where those files live and include them in an automatic backup, then test that they restore correctly.
Is cloud backup or an external drive better?
Both have strengths. An external drive is fast to restore from, while cloud backup protects you from fire, theft, or a stolen laptop. Many families use both, and we can set that up.
How do I know my backup is actually working?
We test a restore before we leave and show you where to look so you can check it yourself any time.
