Backup & disaster recovery · Melbourne & the north-east

Backup and disaster recovery, so you never lose a day's work.

Ransomware, a dead hard drive, or one wrong click can wipe out the files your business runs on. Most businesses only find out their backup was not working on the day they need it. Unity Systems sets up automated, regularly tested backups and a clear recovery plan, so when something goes wrong you are back up in hours, not wondering if the data is gone for good.

Why it matters

The backup you assume you have is the one that fails you.

Nearly every business thinks it is covered. Then a folder gets emptied, a laptop dies, or ransomware locks the lot, and it turns out the backup stopped running months ago, or was only ever copying the problem. The question is not whether you have a backup. It is whether you can actually restore from it, fast, when it counts.

Ransomware

Attackers now go after your backups first. If your only copy syncs automatically, it gets encrypted too. We keep copies they cannot reach.

Simple mistakes

The most common data loss is not dramatic. It is someone deleting the wrong folder and no one noticing until weeks later. We make that recoverable.

Hardware that dies

Drives and servers fail without warning. With a tested backup and a recovery plan, a dead machine is a quiet afternoon, not a lost week.

What we do

Backup done properly, and proven to work.

Anyone can copy files somewhere. The value is in recovery: copies you can trust, kept where attackers cannot reach them, and a plan that gets the right things back first.

Automated backups

Your servers, computers and cloud data backed up on a schedule, with no one having to remember to press a button.

Backup for Microsoft 365

A real, recoverable copy of your email, Teams and SharePoint, covering the gap most people assume Microsoft fills. See Microsoft 365 support.

Tested restores

We regularly restore from your backups to prove they work, so recovery day is routine, not a gamble.

Separate, safe copies

Copies kept offsite and isolated, so ransomware that hits your network cannot reach the one thing that saves you.

A recovery plan

We agree what comes back first and how fast, so everyone knows the plan before anything goes wrong.

Visible status

With Kevin, our portal, you can see your backup and protection status at a glance, no black box.

Why Unity

Recovery you can count on, from a local team that tests it.

Backup is part of a bigger picture: being protected to a recognised standard and actively managed all year. It is one of the core areas we cover in cyber security, and we treat it the same way, with a clear plan and visible progress rather than a box ticked once and forgotten.

Proven, not promised

We test restores so your recovery is something we have already done, not something we hope will work.

Part of a standard

Backup and recovery is one of the areas in the recognised Australian security standard we work to, so it is structured and demonstrable.

Real local people

Based in Greensborough and reachable when it matters most, which is the moment something has just gone wrong.

Backup & recovery · FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Isn't my data already backed up?

Often less than people think. A file sync like OneDrive or SharePoint is not a backup: if something is deleted or encrypted by ransomware, the sync happily copies that change everywhere. We set up real backups that keep separate, recoverable copies you can roll back to.

Doesn't Microsoft back up my email and files?

Not the way most people assume. Microsoft keeps the service running, but once the short retention window passes, recovering data you or an attacker deleted is on you. Backing up Microsoft 365 properly is a core part of what we set up.

What does a backup actually protect me from?

Four things we see constantly: ransomware that encrypts your files, hardware that dies without warning, staff who delete the wrong thing, and people who leave and take their mailbox knowledge with them. Good backup covers all four.

How do you know the backups actually work?

Because we test them. A backup nobody has ever restored is a guess. We run regular test restores so that when the day comes, getting your data back is a routine step, not a panic.

How quickly could we be running again after an attack?

That depends on your setup, which is exactly what a recovery plan is for. We agree in advance what needs to come back first and how fast, then build the backup around that target, so recovery is measured in hours, not a scramble.
