Key Features of Our Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery Services

  • Microsoft Azure Site Recovery
    Copy your important systems to the cloud so they can be restarted quickly during a major outage. Site Recovery helps keep your business online while repairs take place.
  • Experienced team
    Computer One’s local team delivers backup and recovery for many organisations like yours. You are assigned dedicated contacts who know your business and take ownership.
  • Proven governance processes
    Clear checklists, approvals and record-keeping. You always know what is protected, who is responsible and when the last test was completed.
  • Offered as a managed service
    We watch your backups 24x7, fix issues and keep you informed. You focus on running the business while we keep it recovery ready.
  • Ransomware-ready backups
    Copies are kept read-only and separated from day-to-day systems. That means attackers cannot change your backups and you can recover cleanly.
  • Microsoft 365 and SaaS protection
    Email, files and chats are covered with simple, item-level restores. Accidental deletion and corruption do not have to stop work.
  • Australian data residency
    Keep your data in Australian data centres, with sovereign options for sensitive workloads. This helps with compliance and peace of mind.
  • Regular testing and clear reports
    We schedule backup and disaster recovery tests and provide plain-English reports. You can show leaders and auditors that recovery truly works.

Why You Should Choose Computer One

We combine disciplined governance with practical engineering to deliver recoverability you can verify. Expect clear recovery point (RPO/RTO) commitments, scheduled testing, and reporting that demonstrates your position.

Our approach reduces total cost while improving certainty – one managed service, one contact point, and one tested plan that spans backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery FAQs

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup creates copies of your data so you can restore files or entire systems to a previous point in time. Disaster recovery focuses on how you keep operating when systems fail, including replication, failover, networking, identity and application dependencies. A sound plan defines recovery objectives for each service and documents the steps to meet them. Testing verifies that those steps work under pressure. Both are essential, but recovery is what keeps your organisation trading when incidents occur.

How does Azure Site Recovery fit into our plan?

Azure Site Recovery replicates selected workloads to Azure or a secondary site and coordinates failover and failback. We map your applications, dependencies and networks, then create recovery plans and automation so transitions are orderly. ASR supports different tiers of readiness to balance cost and recovery speed. We integrate identity, DNS and security controls to ensure access is safe during a failover. Regular test failovers confirm your targets are achievable.

How often should we test backup and disaster recovery?

Backups should be test‑restored frequently to confirm data integrity and recovery time. Disaster recovery plans should be tested at least annually, with critical services exercised more often or after significant change. We run tabletop tests, technical test restores and full application failover drills. Each test produces findings that improve your system resilience and confidence. Testing turns a documented plan into a reliable capability.

What RPO and RTO can we expect?

RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you can afford to lose, and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how long a service can be down. Typical RPOs range from minutes to hours depending on replication frequency and workload criticality, while RTOs depend on how much time (and money) you are prepared to tolerate losing if you are unable to work. We baseline your current state, then design per‑application targets with evidence from testing. Where required, we tune architecture to close any gaps.

How do you protect backups against ransomware?

Many kinds of backup solution can be designed, but for ultimate resilience we can use immutable storage and air‑gapped copies so backups cannot be altered or encrypted. Multi‑factor access, role‑based permissions and separation of duties reduce operational risk. Malware scanning and clean‑room validation help ensure we restore uncompromised data for you. Network segmentation and privileged access procedures protect recovery paths. Regular restoration testing confirms that controls work as intended.  If your workload and information demands are sufficiently important, we can design a near-perfect defence of your backups.

Can you back up Microsoft 365 and other SaaS applications?

Yes we can. We provide Microsoft 365 backup for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams with granular and point‑in‑time restores. This complements Microsoft retention by protecting against deletion, corruption and ransomware. We extend coverage to other SaaS platforms where APIs permit safe and complete backup. Policies for retention and legal hold are aligned to your governance requirements. Restore workflows are simple and well documented for your team.

Where is our data stored, and can you meet sovereignty requirements?

Primary and secondary copies are stored in Australian data centres, with the option to use sovereign facilities for regulated workloads in other territories. Data residency and access are controlled to align with your policies, and we maintain clear records of where copies live. Encryption in transit and at rest is standard, with encryption keys managed in line with your requirements. We document data flows to support audits and assurance. If you must meet specific certifications, we can design to those constraints.

What are my recovery options for virtualised workloads?

You can replicate to Azure using Azure Site Recovery, to a secondary virtual environment, or to our managed DRaaS platform. Storage‑level replication may be appropriate in certain cases. We integrate DNS, load balancing and network routes so users can reach services after failover. Selection is based on the application’s criticality and your budget.

Do you provide 24x7 monitoring and response?

Yes. We monitor backup jobs, replication health and recovery readiness around the clock. Alerts are triaged and remediated by our operations team with escalation to named contacts. You receive monthly reports, and urgent issues are communicated immediately. We perform scheduled test restores and update runbooks when changes occur. The aim is simple – recoverability that is maintained every day, not only after an incident.

How do you price Backup as a Service and DRaaS?

Backup is commonly priced by protected workload, user or capacity with options for retention, immutability and offsite copies. DRaaS adds replication, runbooks, testing and standby resources, with tiers that match your RTO/RPO needs. Network and security components are included so failover is workable in practice. We provide a transparent design and bill of materials so you know what you are paying for. Packages are available for common patterns to speed adoption.
