Backup & disaster recovery in Mt Wellington
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 Mt Wellington. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Backup & disaster recovery for Mt Wellington businesses
Mt Wellington runs from the Sylvia Park retail precinct to large business parks along Mt Wellington Highway and the Sylvia Park Road area, home to distribution centres, head offices, building product suppliers and service companies. Offices range from modern office blocks to warehouses with a mezzanine office.
Companies here often have a mix of corporate-style office space and operational areas, so the network has to handle staff laptops, warehouse scanners, CCTV and meeting room gear without one getting in the way of another. Separating those into their own network segments, with a firewall that is actually managed, is a common first improvement.
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.
Technicians visit Mt Wellington offices and warehouses for networks, Wi-Fi, CCTV and computers, and resolve everyday requests remotely. Larger projects are quoted in writing and scheduled around operations.
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.
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.
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.
Recovery help
When something is lost or encrypted we do the restore, check the data is complete and help you work out how it happened.
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.
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.

Backup & disaster recovery in Mt Wellington: questions
Our CCTV, scanners and office PCs are all on one network. Should they be split up?
It increases risk and can slow things down. We separate them into their own network segments behind a managed firewall, so a compromised camera cannot reach your finance computers and heavy traffic in one area does not affect another.
Do you install CCTV for business sites?
Yes, we install and maintain business CCTV systems as low-voltage work, including recorders and remote viewing set up securely. Each installation is quoted in writing after a site visit.
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.
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.
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.
