Backup & disaster recovery in Highbrook
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 Highbrook. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Backup & disaster recovery for Highbrook businesses
Highbrook Business Park is a master-planned estate beside the Tamaki River with direct motorway access, home to national distribution centres, corporate head offices, logistics operators and manufacturers in large modern buildings. Many tenants run bigger teams and multiple sites around the country.
Buildings at Highbrook typically have good fibre and structured cabling, so the work is about scale and consistency: managing many devices, linking the Auckland site securely with branches elsewhere, high-density Wi-Fi in large warehouses and meeting rooms that work for national video calls. Security reporting and documented processes are often expected by head office or insurers.
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.
Our technicians attend Highbrook sites for rollouts, network and Wi-Fi projects, and provide remote support to staff wherever they are. Regional branches are supported remotely with planned visits by arrangement.
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.
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.
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.
Test restores
A scheduled restore each quarter, timed and recorded, so the recovery time in your plan is measured rather than guessed.
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.
Daily checks
Every backup job is checked each working day. Failures, warnings and jobs that silently stopped are investigated and fixed, with the cause noted.
Is it right for your Highbrook 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 Highbrook: questions
We have an Auckland site and branches around NZ. Can you support all of them?
Yes. Auckland and Hamilton sites get onsite technicians, and other branches are supported remotely with planned visits for project work. Every site gets the same setup and security standards.
Can you roll out new laptops to a large team without disrupting work?
We prepare and configure devices in advance, then swap them in batches with each person's files and settings ready. The rollout plan and price are agreed in writing first.
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.
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.
Where is our data stored?
Backup copies are kept in data centres we name in your recovery plan, with Australian or New Zealand locations available. We tell you where the copies are before anything is set up.
How much does backup cost?
Microsoft 365 backup is included in the Managed and Complete plans. Server, NAS and large data backups depend on how much data you hold and how quickly you need it back, so we quote them in writing first.
