Construction projects don't happen in corporate offices. Torcon's employees work across dozens of active job sites using laptops connected through everything from fiber internet to cellular hotspots, guest Wi-Fi, and Starlink. With only a three-person IT team supporting a constantly changing workforce, endpoint data needed to be protected wherever work happened—even when users forgot to save files in the right place.
Torcon standardized on Backblaze Computer Backup to automatically protect employee laptops without requiring user involvement. The IT team silently deploys Backblaze through Microsoft Intune, authenticates users through Microsoft 365, and centrally manages backups through the Backblaze admin portal. Continuous, bandwidth-efficient backups ensure data is protected across unreliable and metered connections common on construction sites.
Whether a laptop is damaged, stolen, replaced, or simply missing files, Torcon knows user data can be recovered. Over more than eight years, Backblaze Computer Backup has become the team's trusted safety net for everyday restores, hardware refreshes, and disaster preparedness. By quietly working in the background, Backblaze gives a lean IT staff confidence that employee data is always protected.
Torcon is a leading construction management firm specializing in complex healthcare, pharmaceutical, education, and commercial construction projects throughout the eastern United States.

Supporting construction means supporting users almost anywhere. Employees work from hospital campuses to remote locations only served by cellular or Starlink. Because users are constantly moving between networks, Torcon needed backup software that worked reliably regardless of connection quality.
Having something that's constantly backing up is important because our users connect through everything from fiber to cellular to Starlink. Backblaze Computer Backup just keeps working.

Like most organizations, important files don't always end up where they're supposed to. Users frequently save project documents to the downloads folder, their desktop, or temporary local folders. Beyond the peace of mind for recovery from a major disaster, Backblaze captures everything on the laptop—including the files users forget about until they're suddenly needed.
There's a lot of value in people's user profiles. They don't realize it until something fails. Backblaze Computer Backup is always our fail-safe.

Construction laptops endure harsh environments. Torcon has recovered data after laptops were:
Backblaze has also become an efficient migration tool, allowing IT to restore entire user environments onto replacement laptops quickly and minimize employee downtime.
I can honestly say we've never had an instance where Backblaze Computer Backup didn't recover what we needed.
Shawn Winters, Vice President of IT, Torcon
With only three people supporting employees across approximately 20-40 active construction sites at a time, Torcon prioritizes tools that require minimal management.
Backblaze Computer Backup delivers:
For Shawn Winters, perhaps the biggest benefit is that Backblaze rarely requires attention.
Backblaze Computer Backup is simple. It's easy. People don't complain about it because it just works in the background.
