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.
Backup Plans for Every Situation
Not everyone needs the same level of protection. Someone backing up a single laptop full of family photos has a different need to someone running a small business with shared files across several computers. We offer three clear plans below, so you can choose the level of protection that actually fits your situation.
- Cloud backup account setup, one device
- Documents and photos folders configured
- Automatic ongoing backup enabled
- Quick walkthrough of how to access your files
- Tested to confirm backup is actually working
- Everything in Basic Backup Setup
- Local backup to an external drive you supply
- Full system files included, not just documents
- Automatic scheduled backup configured
- Storage management so backup never silently fails
- Written summary of your full backup setup
- Everything in Complete Backup Setup
- Backup health alerts configured
- One follow up check within three months
- Priority support if a restore is ever needed
- Recommendations on storage and renewal as data grows
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.
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.
- We actually test it. Every setup is verified working before we finish, not just switched on and assumed to be fine.
- Plans from $55. Clear, upfront pricing with three simple tiers so you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs.
- Done the same day. Most setups are completed in an hour or two, with larger photo libraries continuing their first upload in the background.
- No unnecessary upsells. If the basic plan genuinely covers what you need, we will tell you that honestly rather than push you toward something bigger.
- Plain language explanations. You will understand exactly what is being backed up, where it is going, and how to check it yourself afterward.
- Remote setup available. For many setups we can configure everything over a secure remote connection without you needing to leave home.
- Locals in Canning Vale. A real local business, not a subscription call centre. Message us on WhatsApp and get a straight answer from a real person.
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.
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.
Backup Setup Pricing. No Hidden Costs
Below is our full backup setup pricing alongside related services that are sometimes booked at the same time, particularly for customers also dealing with a slow or ageing computer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
