Why This Matters

A Backup Is Not Something You Set Up After Disaster Strikes

Most people only think seriously about backup the moment it is already too late. A hard drive fails, a laptop is stolen from a car, a phone is dropped in the pool, or a ransomware infection locks every file on the machine. By that point, the only thing left to do is hope a backup already exists somewhere. For far too many Perth households and small businesses, it does not.

What makes this particularly frustrating is how avoidable it is. A proper backup, set up correctly once, runs quietly in the background from that point forward without you needing to think about it again. The people who lose everything are almost never the ones who set up a backup and decided it was not worth maintaining. They are the ones who always meant to get around to it.

Hard Drives Fail Without Warning
Mechanical and even solid state drives have a limited lifespan. Most give little to no warning before they stop working completely.
Laptops Get Lost or Stolen
A stolen laptop is a frustrating financial loss. A stolen laptop with the only copy of your files is a far bigger problem entirely.
Ransomware Targets Your Files Directly
Modern ransomware specifically seeks out and encrypts documents and photos. A separate backup is often the only real protection against it.
Accidental Deletion Happens to Everyone
A wrong click, an accidental format, or a careless drag and drop has wiped out years of files for plenty of careful, sensible people.
Liquid Damage and Physical Accidents
Spilled drinks, drops, and water damage are some of the most common reasons Perth customers come to us needing data recovery, often unsuccessfully.
You Cannot Recreate Memories
Lost documents can sometimes be rewritten. Lost family photos and videos from years gone by simply cannot be replaced at any price.

How It Works

Cloud Backup and Local Backup, Explained Simply

There are two main types of backup, and the strongest protection comes from using both together. Here is the difference in plain language, without the technical jargon that usually makes this topic more confusing than it needs to be.

Local Backup Your files are copied to a separate physical device, typically an external hard drive. Gives you a fast offline copy that does not depend on an internet connection to restore.
Physical Copy
Using Both Together Cloud backup protects against theft, fire, and physical loss. Local backup protects against a slow internet connection and gives you a fast local restore. Together, they cover almost every realistic scenario.

Why FixMyPC Perth

Why Perth Locals Trust Us to Set This Up Properly

Backup software is easy to install badly. Plenty of people switch on a backup app, assume it is working, and only discover months later that nothing was actually being saved. We make sure that never happens to you.


Running a Business?

Business Backup Needs a Different Approach

Business backup is rarely a simple one device job. There are usually multiple computers, shared drives, cloud accounts, and sometimes a server or network attached storage device that all need to be covered together, often with stricter requirements around how quickly files need to be recoverable if something goes wrong.

Because every business setup is genuinely different, we do not try to fit this into a fixed package on this page. Instead, we ask Perth businesses to contact us directly so we can properly scope what you actually have, understand how your team works, and put together accurate pricing based on the real number of devices and the level of protection your business needs.

Protect your business properly. Contact us directly.
Multiple computers, shared drives, or a small office network to back up. Message us with a brief idea of your setup and we will arrange a time to scope it properly and give you accurate, no obligation pricing.

If you also want ongoing monitoring across your whole office, not just backup, our managed IT support packages bundle backup oversight together with broader IT support, starting from $149 per month with no lock in contracts.

Real Perth Customers

What Our Customers Say

We let our work speak for itself. Here are a few words from Perth locals who now sleep a little easier knowing their files are properly protected.

★★★★★

Had a friend lose every photo of her kids when her laptop died and it scared me into finally sorting mine out. Took less than an hour and now I genuinely do not think about it anymore.

Megan T. — Willetton
★★★★★

Went with the Complete plan for cloud and an external drive together. They explained exactly what was being backed up and even showed me how to check it myself.

Greg N. — Thornlie
★★★★★

Reached out about backup for our small office with five computers and a shared drive. They actually came and looked at our setup properly before quoting, which I appreciated.

Olivia R. — Canning Vale
★★★★★

My old laptop's hard drive started clicking a week after I finally got around to setting up backup. Could not believe the timing, but everything was already safe.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Our backup setup plans start at $55 for a basic single device cloud backup. Our most popular plan, Complete Backup Setup, is $99 and covers cloud and local backup together. Our Total Protection plan is $149 and includes monitoring and a follow up health check. Businesses needing backup across multiple computers should contact us directly for custom pricing based on the number of devices involved.
Cloud backup stores a copy of your files securely on the internet, protecting you even if your computer is lost, stolen or physically damaged. Local backup stores a copy on a separate physical device such as an external hard drive, giving you a fast offline copy. Using both together gives the strongest protection, since each covers a different kind of risk.
A backup is not something you need because your computer is broken. It is something you need before your computer breaks. Hard drives fail, laptops get lost or stolen, ransomware locks files, and accidental deletions happen to everyone eventually. A proper backup means none of those events cost you your photos, documents or work files.
Most backup setups are completed the same day, often within an hour or two depending on how much data needs to be uploaded initially. Larger photo and video libraries can take longer to complete their first upload in the background, though the setup itself is finished and tested before you leave.
Yes. We regularly set up backup systems for small businesses across Perth covering multiple computers, shared drives and server folders. Because every business setup is different, we ask businesses to contact us directly so we can scope the right solution and provide accurate pricing for the number of devices and the level of protection involved.
A properly configured backup runs quietly in the background and is designed not to interfere with your normal use of the computer. We configure scheduling and settings so the initial upload, which is the most intensive part, happens at a sensible time and does not get in your way.
Yes, for most home setups. We can configure cloud and local backup over a secure remote connection without you needing to leave home. If your setup also involves a new external hard drive that needs to be physically connected, we will let you know whether a drop off or a remote session makes more sense for your situation.
If you ever need to restore files from your backup, message us on WhatsApp and we will talk you through it, or bring your machine in if you would prefer it handled for you. Total Protection plan customers receive priority support specifically for this scenario, since a restore situation is usually time sensitive.
