Backup & disaster recovery in Pukekohe
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 Pukekohe. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Backup & disaster recovery for Pukekohe businesses
Pukekohe is the main town of Auckland's southern rural area, surrounded by some of the country's most productive vegetable growing land, with horticulture, food packing, rural services, transport, retail and professional firms in the town centre. Many local businesses are family-owned and seasonal.
Growers and packhouses need networks that reach sheds, coolstores and offices spread across a property, and connectivity outside town can mean fixed wireless or satellite. Seasonal staff mean accounts and devices are added and removed in waves, so onboarding and offboarding need to be quick and secure.
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 Auckland technicians make planned trips to Pukekohe and the surrounding rural area for network, connectivity and computer work, with everyday help provided remotely. Rural jobs are surveyed and quoted 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.
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.
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.
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 Pukekohe 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 Pukekohe: questions
Can you link our packhouse, coolstore and office on one network?
Yes. Depending on distances, we use outdoor-rated cable, fibre or point-to-point wireless links, then set up Wi-Fi where staff need it. All of it is low-voltage work, quoted in writing after a site visit.
We hire seasonal staff every year. How do we manage their accounts?
We set up a simple process to create accounts with only the access they need, and remove them at the end of the season. Shared devices can be locked down so seasonal staff only see the apps they use.
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.
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.
