Backup & disaster recovery in Ngāruawāhia
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 Ngāruawāhia. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Backup & disaster recovery for Ngāruawāhia businesses
Ngaruawahia sits at the meeting of the Waikato and Waipa rivers north of Hamilton, an important centre for Waikato Maori and the Kiingitanga, with a small town centre, iwi and community organisations, and the growing industrial and logistics area at Horotiu nearby.
Community and iwi organisations here often support many people with a small team, needing secure Microsoft 365, managed laptops for staff in the field and careful handling of personal information. Logistics and industrial sites toward Horotiu need warehouse Wi-Fi, CCTV and reliable connectivity. Smaller town offices often run on a single connection with no fallback, so a mobile backup link is worth considering.
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.
Ngaruawahia visits are booked from Hamilton for installs and onsite work, and everyday help is provided remotely. Work is quoted in writing first.
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.
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.
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.
Is it right for your Ngāruawāhia 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 Ngāruawāhia: questions
Can you support a community or iwi organisation with field staff?
Yes. We manage staff laptops and phones wherever they work, secure Microsoft 365 with multi-factor sign-in and keep records in protected storage, with technicians visiting from Hamilton when needed.
Do you install warehouse Wi-Fi near Horotiu?
Yes. We survey the building, design coverage for the racking and loading areas and quote the installation in writing, with technicians travelling from Hamilton.
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.
