Backup Solutions — Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between backup, sync, and archive?
Backup keeps point-in-time copies you can restore from. Sync (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive) keeps the latest version current — and replicates corruption or ransomware encryption to all devices. Archive moves old data to long-term cheaper storage. Most businesses need all three; they’re complementary, not interchangeable.
Where is the backup data physically hosted?
For Australian customers, backup data is hosted on Australian-based infrastructure — typically Sydney + Melbourne data centres. Data does not leave the country. This satisfies the Australian Privacy Principles and industry-specific data sovereignty requirements (legal, healthcare, financial services, government).
How fast can we recover from ransomware?
With immutable backup configured properly, most workloads restore within hours not days. The bottleneck is usually validating the restored data is clean and bringing it back online without reintroducing the ransomware — not the technical restore itself. We document recovery objectives upfront so there are no surprises during an actual incident.
Do we need backup for Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft’s service agreement explicitly states data protection is the customer’s responsibility. The 30-93 day retention you get with M365 is a recycle bin, not backup — it will not protect against ransomware, malicious deletion, or admin error after the retention window. See our dedicated Microsoft 365 backup page.
How much does managed backup cost for an SMB?
Pricing scales with data volume and protected workloads. As a rough indication, comprehensive backup for a 25-50 person business covering Microsoft 365, on-premise servers, and key SaaS apps runs in the low-to-mid hundreds per month. Specifics depend on retention requirements and recovery time objectives. Call 1300 277 211 for a tailored quote.
Can backup data be encrypted by ransomware too?
Not if it’s configured correctly. We deploy with immutable storage — backup data physically cannot be deleted, encrypted, or modified during its retention period, even by an admin or attacker with full credentials. This is the single most important defence against modern ransomware that specifically targets backup infrastructure first.
What’s the difference between cloud backup and disaster recovery?
Cloud backup keeps point-in-time data copies for recovery from data loss events. Disaster recovery (DRaaS) keeps replica systems ready to bring online if production fails — minutes-to-hours recovery instead of hours-to-days. Most businesses need both for different scenarios. See our disaster recovery page.
