Mining Backup and Disaster Recovery
Backup & Disaster Recovery for Mining Data
Backups you have actually tested. We protect Microsoft 365, endpoints, servers and site NAS with local and off-site copies, replicate critical data between locations, document recovery plans and run regular restore tests so you know what recovery really looks like.
Survey data, drill results and engineering models are often irreplaceable. A ransomware event, flood or failed array should be an inconvenience, not a catastrophe.
A geographically distributed resources business has a wide attack surface: users in many locations, contractors joining and leaving, remote connectivity, cloud services and supplier access. Practical, consistently applied controls matter more than any single product.
Local speed, off-site safety
Remote sites keep fast local backups for quick restores and replicate to an off-site or cloud copy on schedules suited to the available bandwidth. Immutable copies protect against ransomware.
Recovery planning and testing
We document recovery objectives for each system and test restores regularly, reporting results so you can see what is protected and how quickly it can return.

Delivery methodology
How we deliver
Assess
We review your sites, users, connectivity and risks, and confirm scope, access and induction requirements.
Design
We select standard, supportable technology and document the solution, costs and delivery plan.
Deploy
Equipment is prepared and tested before dispatch; remote and field engineers implement around your rosters.
Support
Everything is monitored and supported 24/7, with field services coordinated when physical work is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is RAID a backup?
+
No. RAID protects against drive failure, not deletion, corruption or ransomware. You still need separate backups.
How do you back up large site datasets over satellite?
+
With local backup first, then incremental replication, bandwidth scheduling and, if needed, initial seeding by physical drive.
Does Microsoft back up our 365 data?
+
Microsoft provides service resilience, but dedicated backup gives longer retention and point-in-time recovery.
How often do you test restores?
+
The schedule is agreed per customer; we recommend at least quarterly for critical systems.

NAS & Mining Data Storage
Fast local storage for large mining datasets. Site NAS keeps geological data, survey outputs, drawings, drone imagery and video close to the people who use them, with resilient drives, permissions, snapshots, backups and scheduled replication back to head office.

Local compute where the cloud is too far away. We design and support HPE and Lenovo servers and virtualisation for workloads that need to stay on site — file services, licence servers, applications and local processing — with UPS, secure access, backups and remote administration.

Detection and response that does not sleep. Managed endpoint protection identifies suspicious behaviour, isolates affected devices and escalates incidents, while centralised monitoring collects security events, raises alerts and drives structured investigation and response workflows.
