Your Data Stays in Australia, Reliably Recoverable
Your data never leaves Australia. Stored securely in Sydney data centres with enterprise-grade encryption — and regularly tested to prove it actually restores.
End-to-End Encryption
Your data is encrypted before it leaves your systems and stays encrypted during transfer and storage — meeting Australian privacy requirements.
Sydney Data Centres
All backups stored in secure, Australian-based data centres in Sydney — keeping your data within Australian borders for compliance confidence.
Data Sovereignty
Your data never leaves Australia, meeting Privacy Act requirements. Healthcare providers and NDIS organisations maintain their compliance posture effortlessly.
Australian Data, Australian Storage
For healthcare providers and businesses handling sensitive information, data sovereignty is essential. Our backup solutions keep your data within Australian borders, supporting your compliance requirements and giving you confidence your data is protected.
Data Loss Happens. How Quickly Could You Recover?
Most businesses don't think about backups until it's too late. Here's how our clients recover from the scenarios that stop other businesses for weeks.
Ransomware Attack
Cybercriminals encrypt your files and demand payment. With our tested backups, your data is restored without paying — and your business is back up in hours, not weeks.
Hardware Failure
Hard drives fail, servers crash, and computers die without warning. Your data survives because backups run automatically — getting your team back to work the same day.
Accidental Deletion
Staff accidentally delete important files or overwrite critical documents. The exact file is recovered in minutes — no productivity lost.
Natural Disaster
Fire, flood, or storm destroys your office. Your business data is safe in Sydney data centres, and operations resume from any location the same day.
Every Piece of Business Data, Protected
Modern businesses have data everywhere — in the cloud, on servers, on employee laptops. We make sure all of it is protected and recoverable, not just the obvious stuff.
Many businesses assume Microsoft 365 backs up their data automatically. It doesn't. If someone deletes a file or an account is compromised, Microsoft won't recover it after 30 days. We provide true backup protection so you're never caught out.

How Your Data Stays Protected and Recoverable
Once configured, everything runs automatically in the background. You focus on your business — we make sure your data is reliably recoverable.
Automatic Backups
Your data backs up automatically throughout the day — without anyone needing to remember or do anything.
Encrypted Transfer
All backup data is encrypted in transit and at rest, meeting Australian privacy requirements for healthcare and other regulated industries.
Verified Recovery
We regularly test restores to prove your backups actually work — because untested backups are unreliable backups.
Fast Restoration
Individual files restored in minutes, full systems in hours. Your business gets back to work quickly when it matters most.
Monthly Test Restores for Compliance
Need documented proof your backups actually work? Monthly test restores with full reporting give healthcare providers, NDIS organisations, and compliance-sensitive businesses the evidence auditors require.
How Protected Is Your Business Data Right Now?
Most businesses discover their backups don't work only when they desperately need them. A free backup assessment reveals exactly where your data is at risk — before something goes wrong.
We review your current protection, identify any gaps, and show you how to close them. No obligation, just clarity on your actual backup status.
Email & Cloud Backup — The Protection Microsoft and Google Do Not Provide
One of the most common misconceptions we encounter is that Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace automatically back up your data. They provide some short-term retention, but they are not backup solutions. If a departing employee deletes their mailbox, if ransomware encrypts your SharePoint site, or if someone permanently removes emails beyond the retention window — that data is gone unless you have an independent backup.
Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online)
- Full mailbox backup — every email, attachment, calendar entry, and contact
- SharePoint document libraries and site collections
- OneDrive for Business files and folder structures
- Teams conversations, channels, and shared files
- 7 years of retention included as standard
- Point-in-time restore — recover to any backup snapshot, not just the latest
- Individual item recovery — restore a single email without restoring the entire mailbox
Google Workspace
- Gmail mailbox backup including labels and folder structures
- Google Drive files and shared drives
- Google Calendar and Contacts
- Google Sites and other Workspace data
- Cross-platform migration support — move from Google to Microsoft or vice versa
- Granular recovery of individual files, emails, or entire accounts
Why Email Backup Matters More Than You Think
Your email contains years of business communications, contracts, client correspondence, and institutional knowledge. For healthcare providers, it contains patient communications that must be retained under the Privacy Act. For trades businesses, it contains quotes, invoices, and project documentation that you may need to reference years later.
Microsoft and Google's built-in retention is designed for convenience, not compliance. Their recycle bin and soft-delete windows are measured in days, not years. Once that window closes, the data is permanently gone — unless you have a proper third-party backup in place.
Server Backup — Complete Protection for Your Business Infrastructure
Your servers run the applications, databases, and file shares your team depends on every day. A server failure without a reliable backup means days or weeks of rebuilding — reinstalling operating systems, reconfiguring applications, and hoping you can recover the data. With proper server backups, your entire system can be restored in hours.
Physical Servers
Full image backups of physical servers capture everything — the operating system, applications, configurations, and data. If your server hardware fails, we restore the entire system to replacement hardware or to a temporary cloud server so your team keeps working while the hardware issue is resolved.
- Bare-metal restore to same or different hardware
- Application-aware backups for databases and email servers
- 90 days retention included, with 3, 5, or 7 year options
- Automated backup verification with restore testing
Virtual Servers (Hyper-V / VMware)
Virtualised environments get snapshot-based backups that capture the entire virtual machine state without disrupting running applications. Whether you are running Hyper-V or VMware, we protect your virtual infrastructure with the same reliability as physical server backups.
- Agentless VM-level backups with minimal performance impact
- Individual file recovery from VM backup images
- 90 days retention included, with extended options available
- Replication to cloud for disaster recovery readiness
NAS & File Servers
Network-attached storage devices and dedicated file servers often contain the shared documents and project files your entire team relies on daily. We protect these with automated backups that capture every version change, so accidentally overwritten files can be recovered in minutes.
- Versioned backups preserving file history
- Ransomware-resistant backup copies with air-gapped storage
- Bandwidth-efficient incremental and differential backups
- Cross-site replication for disaster recovery
Workstation & Laptop Backup — Protecting Data That Lives on Devices
Not all business data sits on servers or in the cloud. Staff save files to their desktops, store client information on laptops, and keep project folders locally for faster access. If that device is lost, stolen, or fails — that data goes with it unless it is being backed up.
For trades businesses, technicians often have job documentation, photos, and reports stored on their laptops or tablets. For healthcare practices, practitioners may have clinical notes or assessment templates saved locally. For professional services firms, consultants carry client deliverables and financial models on their devices. All of this data needs protection.
We deploy a combination of cloud sync and endpoint backup to ensure workstation data is protected automatically. Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive handles the everyday document sync, while endpoint backup agents capture application data, local databases, and system configurations that cloud sync alone would miss. Workstation backups are retained for 90 days as standard, with extended retention of 3, 5, or 7 years available for businesses that need to keep data longer for compliance or operational reasons.
When a laptop fails or is stolen, we can restore the user's complete working environment to a replacement device — including their files, application settings, browser bookmarks, and desktop layout — so they are back to full productivity the same day.
What Gets Protected
- Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folders
- Outlook PST files and local email archives
- Browser bookmarks and saved passwords (via sync)
- Local application databases (MYOB, Xero data files, etc.)
- Practice management software local data
- Photos, videos, and project files stored locally
- Custom application configurations and templates
Device Loss or Theft
If a device is lost or stolen, workstation backup combined with our endpoint management means we can remotely wipe the lost device to protect sensitive data while simultaneously restoring everything to a replacement device. Your staff member loses a few hours, not a few weeks.
Building a Backup Strategy That Actually Protects You
A proper backup strategy is not just about copying files — it is about understanding what data matters, how quickly you need it back, and what scenarios you need to survive. We design backup strategies around two critical metrics that determine everything else.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
RPO answers the question: how much data can you afford to lose? If your backups run daily, you could lose up to 24 hours of work. If they run hourly, you lose at most one hour. For most businesses, daily backups of general files and hourly backups of critical databases strike the right balance between protection and cost.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
RTO answers the question: how quickly do you need to be back up and running? Recovering a single deleted file takes minutes. Recovering an entire server takes hours. Recovering an entire office after a disaster depends on whether you have a tested recovery plan. We design your backup solution to meet the recovery time your business actually needs.
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule
Every backup strategy we design follows the industry-standard 3-2-1 rule. This ensures your data survives any single point of failure — whether that is a hardware crash, a ransomware attack, or a physical disaster at your premises.
Your original data plus two independent backup copies, so no single failure leaves you without a recovery option.
Backups stored on different media — for example, a local NAS device and a cloud backup — so a single technology failure does not affect both copies.
At least one copy stored in a geographically separate location — our Sydney data centres — so a fire, flood, or break-in at your office does not destroy your backups too.
Warning Signs Your Backup Strategy Needs Attention
Most businesses assume their data is protected until something goes wrong. These are the warning signs we see most often — and each one represents a real risk to your business continuity.
Nobody in your business can confirm when the last successful backup ran
If you do not have automated monitoring and reporting on your backups, you have no way to know whether they are actually working. Many businesses discover their backups stopped running weeks or months ago — only when they desperately need to restore data.
Your backups have never been tested with an actual restore
A backup that has never been tested is a backup you cannot rely on. Corrupted backup files, misconfigured retention policies, and incomplete backups are all common problems that only reveal themselves during a restore attempt.
You are relying on a USB drive or external hard drive for backups
USB drives fail, get lost, and are often left connected to the computer — making them vulnerable to the same ransomware that encrypts your main data. They also provide no offsite protection against fire, flood, or theft.
Your Microsoft 365 data is not being backed up by a third-party solution
Microsoft's built-in retention is not a backup. Permanently deleted emails, compromised SharePoint sites, and departed employee mailboxes can be permanently lost beyond Microsoft's short recovery window.
Staff save important files to their desktops or local drives
Data that exists only on a single device is one hardware failure, theft, or accidental deletion away from being permanently lost. Without endpoint backup or cloud sync, this data is completely unprotected.
You do not know your Recovery Point Objective or Recovery Time Objective
Without knowing how much data you can afford to lose (RPO) or how quickly you need to recover (RTO), your backup strategy is based on guesswork rather than your actual business requirements. This often means you are either over-paying for protection you do not need, or under-protected in areas that matter most.
