If a laptop is stolen, a server fails or ransomware encrypts your files, your backup is what decides whether it’s a bad day or a business-ending one. Cloud backup from Sydney Technology Solutions backs up your data automatically, stores it securely in Australia and is checked every day, so you can restore with confidence.
What we back up
Servers
Physical and virtual servers, on site or in the cloud, including full system images for fast recovery.
Computers and laptops
Staff devices backed up wherever they are, so a lost or broken laptop doesn’t mean lost work.
Microsoft 365
Email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, so deleted or encrypted data can be recovered beyond Microsoft’s retention periods.
Hosted servers
Servers in our private cloud or colocation service, backed up to separate storage.
How your backups are protected
Stored in Australia
Backups are kept in Australian data centres, so your data stays onshore.
Protected from ransomware
Immutable or offline protection where appropriate, so attackers can’t delete or encrypt your backups.
Encrypted
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Monitored daily
We check that backups have run, and failures are picked up and fixed, not discovered when you need a restore.
Tested restores
We regularly test that data can actually be restored.
Restore what you need
A single file, a mailbox, a folder or a whole server.
Backup is part of disaster recovery
A backup gets your data back. A disaster recovery plan gets your business running again, with agreed recovery times, standby server recovery and a tested runbook. And business continuity keeps your staff working while that happens.

Why choose STS for cloud backup
Cloud backup is only as good as your last successful restore. We monitor backups daily, test restores regularly and keep your data in Australia. Our cloud backup is protected against ransomware, in line with the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s recommendation to keep backups separate and secure. And when you need something back, you call a real person who can restore it for you, from a single email to a whole server.

Frequently asked questions
Isn’t Microsoft 365 already backed up?
Microsoft keeps its service running, but it doesn’t provide a full backup of your data that you control. Deleted or encrypted email and files may not be recoverable after retention periods. A separate Microsoft 365 backup closes that gap.
Where is our data stored?
In Australian data centres.
Can ransomware reach our backups?
Our backups use immutable or offline protection where appropriate, so they can’t be deleted or encrypted by an attacker who gets into your network.
How often do backups run?
It depends on the system. Critical servers can be backed up many times a day; we agree a schedule that fits how much data you can afford to lose.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how much data you have and how long you keep it. After a review we give you clear monthly pricing.
How long do you keep cloud backup data?
It depends on your needs and any compliance obligations. We agree retention periods with you, from weeks to years, and set up cloud backup to match.
Can we test our cloud backup?
Yes. We regularly test restores and can run a test with you at any time, so you know your cloud backup works before you need it.
Does cloud backup slow down our internet?
Backups are scheduled so they don’t get in the way of your staff. After the first full backup, cloud backup only sends the changes.
