If the Worst Happens,
You'll Be Back Fast
Ransomware pays when businesses can't recover. We set up tested, verified backups with fast recovery times — so you never have to pay a ransom or lose critical data.
Tested recovery for Geelong businesses
Complete Data Protection
We combine local and cloud backups with active ransomware protection and 24/7 monitoring.
On-Site Backups
Automated local backups to on-site storage devices for fast recovery. Your data stays close and accessible when you need it most.
Cloud Backups
Encrypted, automated off-site backup to secure cloud storage. Protection against fire, theft, and physical disasters.
Ransomware Protection
Client-side encryption and immutable backup snapshots to prevent ransomware from tampering with your backups.
Backup Monitoring
Continuous tracking of all backup jobs with alerts for missed or failed backups. We catch problems before they become disasters.
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule: A Simple Strategy That Works
The 3-2-1 backup rule is the gold standard for data protection, and it is simple enough for any business to follow. Keep at least three copies of your data, store them on two different types of media, and keep one copy off-site.
In practice, that usually means your live data on your workstations and servers, a local backup on a NAS or dedicated backup drive, and a cloud backup stored in a secure Australian data centre. If any one of those copies is compromised - by hardware failure, theft, fire, or ransomware - you still have two more to recover from.
We configure and monitor this entire strategy for you. You do not need to think about backup schedules, retention policies, or encryption. We handle it all and verify that your backups are actually working with regular test restores.
Understanding RTO and RPO: How Much Downtime Can You Afford?
Two important numbers drive every backup strategy: your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and your Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
RTO is how quickly you need to be back up and running after a disaster. If your business cannot afford more than four hours of downtime, your backup solution needs to support a four-hour recovery.
RPOis how much data you can afford to lose. If you back up once a day and disaster strikes at 4pm, you could lose up to a full day's work. If that is unacceptable, you need more frequent backups - every few hours or even continuously.
We help you define realistic RTO and RPO targets based on your business operations, then design a backup strategy that meets those targets without over-engineering (or over-spending).
Ransomware Protection: Why Standard Backups Are Not Enough
Modern ransomware does not just encrypt your files. It actively searches for and destroys backup copies. Attackers know that if they can take out your backups, you have no choice but to pay. That is why standard backups alone are not sufficient protection.
We protect your backups with immutable snapshots - copies that cannot be modified or deleted for a set retention period, even by an administrator account. This means that even if ransomware compromises your entire network, your backup data remains intact and recoverable.
Combined with the cybersecurity controls we implement across your environment, this creates a layered defence where your data is protected at every level - from prevention through to recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers, no fluff.
Keep at least 3 copies of your data, stored on 2 different types of media, with 1 copy stored off-site (or in the cloud). This ensures you can recover from any scenario - hardware failure, theft, fire, or ransomware.
For most businesses, daily backups are the minimum. Critical systems like email and databases often need backups every few hours. We configure backup schedules based on how much data you can afford to lose.
An immutable backup is one that cannot be modified or deleted for a set period - even by an administrator. This prevents ransomware from encrypting or destroying your backup copies, which is how many modern attacks cause maximum damage.
Yes. We monitor every backup job and receive alerts for any failures or missed schedules. You won't need to check manually - if something goes wrong, we catch it and fix it immediately.
Yes. Microsoft doesn't provide comprehensive backups by default. We set up independent backups of your emails, OneDrive files, SharePoint, and Teams data with point-in-time recovery options.
