Backup & disaster recovery in East Tāmaki
A backup is only worth something on the day you need it back. We set up copies of your Microsoft 365, servers and shared files, keep at least one where ransomware can't touch it, check every job and prove it works with regular test restores.
Onsite technicians cover East Tāmaki. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Backup & disaster recovery for East Tāmaki businesses
East Tamaki is one of New Zealand's largest industrial and business areas, stretching along Springs Road, Ti Rakau Drive and Harris Road, with manufacturers, importers, distributors, engineering firms, printers and trade wholesalers. Most premises combine an office at the front with a warehouse or factory behind.
Office-and-warehouse buildings here need networks that serve two very different spaces: cabled desks and meeting rooms up front, and Wi-Fi strong enough to reach handheld scanners between tall racking out the back. Many sites also run CCTV, access control and production machines that should sit on their own network segments, and dispatch stops if the internet drops, so a failover connection earns its keep.
Our approach is simple and written down. We list what your business can't lose - mailboxes, shared drives, accounting data, line-of-business databases - and decide with you how far back you need to go and how fast you need it back. Then we put a backup in place for each one, with an offsite copy kept separate from your normal sign-ins so an attacker who gets into your network can't delete it.
East Tamaki is close to home for our Auckland technicians, who visit for warehouse Wi-Fi, cabling, CCTV and office computers. Everyday issues are fixed remotely, and site work is planned around shifts and dispatch.
What's included
Microsoft 365 backup
Exchange mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams files copied outside Microsoft's own retention, with point-in-time restores of single items or whole accounts.
Test restores
A scheduled restore each quarter, timed and recorded, so the recovery time in your plan is measured rather than guessed.
Laptop file protection
Desktop and Documents folders redirected to OneDrive and covered by the 365 backup, so a stolen laptop costs a device, not a year of work.
Copies ransomware can't reach
An offsite, versioned copy protected by separate credentials and deletion locks, so encrypting your network does not take the backups with it.
Server and NAS backup
Image-level backups of onsite servers and file shares, so a failed machine can be rebuilt on new hardware or started in the cloud while it is replaced.
Written recovery plan
Who to contact, what gets restored first, where the copies live and how long each step takes, kept short enough to use in a crisis.
Is it right for your East Tāmaki office?
Talk to us about backup if any of these sound familiar:
- Your backup is a USB drive someone is meant to swap each week
- You use Microsoft 365 and have never set up a separate backup for it
- Your accounting or practice software sits on one server in a cupboard
- You can't say when a restore was last tested
- Your insurer asks whether backups are offline or immutable
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Backup & disaster recovery in East Tāmaki: questions
Can you design Wi-Fi for a warehouse in East Tamaki?
Yes. We survey the building with the racking and stock in place, then position access points for the aisles and loading areas where scanners are used. The design and installation are quoted in writing before we start.
Should our CCTV and production machines be on the office network?
No. We separate cameras, machines and office computers into their own segments behind a managed firewall, so a vulnerable device cannot be used to reach your accounts or files.
How quickly can we get things back?
A single file or email usually takes minutes. A whole server depends on its size and the method; we measure it during test restores and write the real figure into your plan.
We already have a NAS. Is that enough?
A NAS is a good local copy for quick restores, but it sits on the same network and often uses the same passwords. It needs an offsite copy with separate credentials to survive ransomware, theft or a fire.
Can you check our current backups before we commit?
Yes. A backup check is billed at our hourly rate and gives you a written list of what is protected, what isn't and what we would change.
Doesn't Microsoft back up our 365 data?
Microsoft keeps the service running and holds deleted items for a short period. It does not keep long-term, independent copies you control. A separate 365 backup covers accidental deletion, departed staff, account takeover and retention gaps.
