Backup & disaster recovery in Te Rapa
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 Te Rapa. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Backup & disaster recovery for Te Rapa businesses
Te Rapa is Hamilton's main industrial and large-format retail area, stretching along Te Rapa Road to the Waikato Expressway, with dairy processing, distribution centres, trade suppliers, vehicle dealers, engineering firms and the large shopping centre at The Base.
Sites here often combine office, workshop and yard, so networks need to reach across large buildings and outdoor areas, carry CCTV and gate systems, and keep machines off the office network. Distribution and trade businesses rely on stock and freight systems that need dependable Wi-Fi and a backup internet connection.
Ask most small offices whether they have a backup and the answer is yes. Ask when someone last restored a file from it and the room goes quiet. We regularly find external drives that stopped copying months ago, NAS boxes backing up to themselves and Microsoft 365 tenancies with no backup at all because everyone assumed Microsoft keeps everything forever. It doesn't: deleted mail and files are kept for a limited window, and a compromised account can empty a mailbox well inside it.
Technicians from our Hamilton team visit Te Rapa sites for warehouse Wi-Fi, cabling, CCTV and office IT, and handle most requests remotely. Site work is planned 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is it right for your Te Rapa 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 Te Rapa: questions
Can you install CCTV at our Te Rapa yard?
Yes. We design and install business CCTV as low-voltage work, with cameras on their own network segment and secure remote viewing. We price each camera system in writing once we have walked the site.
How do we keep the warehouse running if the internet fails?
A second connection, usually mobile broadband, can take over automatically through a business firewall. We test the signal at your site before recommending equipment.
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.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is the copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and tooling to get the business working again after a fire, flood, theft or ransomware attack, including where people work and in what order systems come back.
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.
