How does it work?

Secure Offsite BackupWith an onsite visit or remote administration of your computer, Backup.com.au's technicians will install our custom Online Backup Manager and help you select which of your files need to be backed-up. The Online Backup Manager is capable of backing-up almost any type of file: Exchange databases, Lotus Domino, SQL, MYOB and Quickbooks etc. Even files that remain open and would normally be inaccessible can be backed-up.

Every evening (or whenever you schedule it) the Online Backup Manager establishes a secure connection to the Backup.com.au Servers and backs-up all of your critical data. You are now protected against any kind of data loss imaginable, even if your entire business were to be destroyed, your data is safe. Insurance companies can rebuild your buildings and offices, but let's see them rebuild your data!

You may potentially have a large amount of data to backup but don't worry, the process doesn't need to send all of the data every night. The Online Backup Manager compares today's data with the previous version on the Backup Server and then only transfers what has changed today.

Even very large files that have changed do not need to be transmitted in their entirety. The Online Backup Manager compares today's file with the file on the Backup Server and then only sends the portion of the file that has changed today. This means that even your ever-increasing Outlook.pst file that would take hours to transmit in full can be backed-up in just moments as it has usually only changed by a few megabytes.

The Backup Servers keep a history of your data and can rebuild back to a previous version (days, weeks or even months before), beyond even the most recent backup. So if you have a file, for example, that developed a corruption 6 backups ago, you can restore your data backup to 7 backups ago, before the corruption occurred.

Lucky we have a backup

Backup.com.au recently had a hard drive crash. Office documents, accounting data, client databases... everything gone.

Luckily Backup.com.au uses Backup.com.au for its data protection. We recovered the lot in 45 minutes.
