Microsoft and Google keep their platforms running, but that is not the same as a backup you control. If files are deleted, overwritten or encrypted by ransomware, those changes are kept too. An independent cloud backup keeps a separate, encrypted copy of your emails, documents and files so you can restore them.
Data Resilience
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace
Backup for Perth Businesses
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace keep your business running, but they are not a backup. PC Madness provides automated, encrypted cloud backups for Perth businesses that protect your emails, documents and files, plus every endpoint device, so you can restore a single file or your entire system after accidental deletion, ransomware or a failed device.
Why Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace need their own backup
Moving email and files to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace doesn't mean they are backed up. If a staff member deletes a folder, a mailbox is wiped when someone leaves, or ransomware encrypts files that then sync to the cloud, the damaged version is what the platform keeps.
An independent cloud backup keeps a separate, encrypted copy of your emails, documents and files, plus the endpoint devices your team works on. When something goes wrong, you restore what you need, from a single file to an entire system, instead of starting again.

How cloud backup and recovery works
-
1.
Set up. We connect your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment and your endpoint devices to automated, encrypted cloud backup.
-
2.
Back up continuously. Emails, documents and files are backed up automatically, so nobody has to remember to run a backup.
-
3.
Managed for you. The PC Madness team manages your backups as part of our managed services, so you have one team to call when something needs to come back.
-
4.
Restore when you need it. After an accidental deletion, a failed device or a ransomware attack, we restore anything from a single file to a full system.
Part of your layered managed security
Backups are your last line of defence, so they work best alongside the layers that stop an incident in the first place. PC Madness combines cloud backups with identity management and multi-factor authentication, Check Point Harmony email and collaboration security for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and 24/7 monitoring. Whether you're a small business with 1-10 users or an established team of 25-50, we manage it all from our Midland HQ.

Yes. Backups are kept encrypted and separate from your live systems, so clean copies can be restored. Our EDR / MDR service adds automated isolation and ransomware rollback on the device itself, so in many cases files are recovered before a full restore is needed.
