Who this is for
Who this service is for

It pairs well with cyber security services, since backup is a key part of ransomware recovery.

Sydney businesses
Why it matters for Sydney businesses
Ransomware, hardware failure and simple human error do not wait for a convenient time. Many Sydney small businesses assume Microsoft looks after all Microsoft 365 backup by default, which is a common and costly misunderstanding. A properly configured and tested backup plan gives your business a real way back after something goes wrong.

FAQ
Backup and disaster recovery questions
Does Microsoft 365 already back up our data?
Microsoft 365 includes short-term retention, but it is not a full backup. Separate backup is recommended to protect against accidental deletion, corruption or longer-term loss.
How do you test that backups actually work?
We review backup jobs and perform recovery testing to confirm that data can actually be restored, not just that a backup job appears to have run.
What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup protects copies of your data. Disaster recovery is the broader plan for restoring systems and operations after an outage or major incident.
How quickly can data be restored?
Recovery time depends on what needs to be restored and how backups are configured. We can help set realistic recovery expectations for your business.
Can you help write a business continuity plan?
Yes. We can help document a practical continuity plan covering backup, recovery steps and key contacts for your business.
