Keeping your files safe

Your files, photos and memories can't be replaced, yet most people only think about protecting them after something goes wrong. Microsys helps Perth households and businesses get ahead of that, setting up reliable backups and handling safe data transfers so your important information is always protected and exactly where you need it.

We set up automatic local and cloud backups that quietly protect your files every day, move everything across when you get a new computer or phone, configure cloud storage like OneDrive, Google Drive and iCloud, and organise external drives or network storage for larger photo and video collections. Whatever your devices, we'll recommend the right approach and set it up properly.

A good backup runs quietly in the background. You don't have to think about it, and it's there when you need it. With upfront pricing, honest advice and a 30-day guarantee, setting up proper backups with Microsys is one of the most sensible things you can do to protect your files.

What we set up

Backup & transfer we take care of

Whether you're protecting precious files or moving to a new device, we make it simple and safe. Here's what our Perth specialists set up every day.

Automatic backups set up

The best backup is one you never have to think about. We set up automatic local and cloud backups that quietly protect your files every day, so if a device is lost, stolen or fails, your photos, documents and data are safe and easy to restore.

New computer data transfer

Got a new computer or laptop? We move everything across for you, including files, photos, emails, bookmarks, programs and settings — so your new machine feels familiar from the moment you switch it on, with nothing left behind.

Phone & device transfers

Switching phones or tablets, or moving between Apple and Android? We transfer your contacts, photos, messages and apps so nothing gets lost in the move and you're up and running on your new device straight away.

Cloud backup & sync

We set up and configure cloud storage like OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud or Dropbox so your files are backed up off-site, synced across all your devices, and accessible wherever you are.

External & NAS backups

For larger collections of photos, videos and files, we set up external drives or network storage (NAS) with a proper backup routine, so everything important is protected and easy to find.

Business backup & continuity

For businesses, we set up reliable, tested backups and recovery plans, so a hardware failure, ransomware attack or accident can't cost you your critical data or grind your operations to a halt.

The honest version

Why most backups fail

People usually find out their backup was not a backup on the day they need it. These are the gaps we see over and over.

One copy is not a backup. If your files exist in one place only, they are one dropped laptop or dead drive away from gone. A real backup means at least two copies, and one of them away from the computer.

Syncing is not backing up. OneDrive, Google Drive and iCloud mirror what is on your computer. Delete a folder by mistake, or let ransomware scramble it, and the cloud copy follows. A backup keeps older versions you can go back to.

The drive that lives next to the laptop. An external drive left plugged in all the time gets hit by the same power surge, theft, fire or ransomware as the computer. Keep one copy unplugged or off site.

Backups that quietly stopped. We regularly find a backup that has not run for months because a password changed, the drive filled up or a setting was switched off. Nobody noticed because it never complained.

Never tested. A backup you have never restored from is a guess. Part of our job is opening a few files from the backup to prove it works. For a plain-English guide to the basics, see the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

Moving to a new computer. This is where files go missing, usually the ones in odd places: browser bookmarks, saved emails, desktop folders, photos on the old phone. We check what is there before the old machine goes anywhere. Call 0478 552 226 and we will set up data backup in Perth that you can actually rely on.

Be prepared

Why a good data backup is your safety net

Hard drives fail, laptops get lost or stolen, phones end up in puddles, and a single accidental click can delete years of photos. None of these are likely on any given day, but over the years, the odds add up, and the one thing they all have in common is that a good backup turns a potential disaster into a minor inconvenience. With your files safely backed up, a failed device just means restoring from your backup, not losing everything. If a drive has already failed without a backup, our data recovery service may still be able to get your files back.

The strongest protection follows a simple principle: keep more than one copy, and keep at least one of them somewhere else. That's why we usually recommend combining an automatic cloud backup, which protects your files off-site from fire, theft or hardware failure at home, with a local backup such as an external drive, which makes restoring large amounts of data quick and easy. Together, they cover almost every scenario.

Just as importantly, a backup is only useful if it actually works. Many people assume they're protected, only to discover when disaster strikes that their backup stopped running months ago or never copied the right files. When we set up your backups, we test that your files are genuinely recoverable and that everything runs automatically, so the protection you think you have is the protection you really have.

My background is IT. Having Mohmmad coming and sort out some issues with viruses and malware on my laptop and installed the second screen has been a delight. I hope I have no reason to see him again but that won't be the case and it will be a delight to see him. Thanks!
