Backup Setup Services in Melbourne
Every backup solution designed, configured and tested on-site. We do not leave until we have verified a working backup actually exists — not just software that says it is backing up.
Cloud Backup Configuration
Cloud backup runs automatically in the background and stores your data off-site,
protecting against theft, fire and physical drive failure. We configure proven
cloud backup solutions —
Backblaze,
OneDrive,
Google Drive
or
iCloud
— correctly for your needs.
External Drive Backup Setup
A properly configured external hard drive backup using Windows Backup, File History, Time Machine (Mac) or third-party software provides a fast local restore option. We set up automatic scheduled backups to your external drive on-site.
Automated Backup Scheduling
Backups only protect you if they run regularly. We configure automatic backup schedules — daily, nightly or continuous — and set up email or notification alerts so you know immediately if a backup fails.
NAS (Network Attached Storage) Setup
A NAS device provides centralised storage that all devices on your home network can back up to automatically. We source, configure and set up NAS devices from Synology, QNAP and other brands on-site across Melbourne.
Windows Backup & File History
Windows includes built-in backup tools that most users never configure correctly. We set up Windows Backup and File History properly — correct schedule, correct destination, correct retention policy — and verify a working backup exists.
Mac Time Machine Setup
Time Machine is Apple's built-in backup solution for macOS. We configure Time Machine on-site with an appropriate backup drive or NAS, set the correct backup schedule and verify the backup is running and restorable.
Business Backup Solutions
Small business backup requires a different approach — multiple PCs, server shares, email and cloud data all protected. We design and implement a business backup strategy on-site covering all critical data with appropriate retention policies.
Backup Testing & Verification
Having backup software installed is not the same as having a working backup. We test your existing backup by actually attempting a file restore — the only way to confirm your backup works when you need it most.

Why Choose Our Backup Setup Melbourne Service?
Most backup setups fail silently for months before anyone notices. We configure backups correctly, test them before leaving, and ensure you have a solution you can actually rely on.
Backup Tested Before We Leave
We never leave a backup setup job without performing an actual test restore. Having backup software running is meaningless if it has never been verified to work.
Automated & Verified
We configure fully automated backup schedules with failure notifications. You do not need to remember to run a backup — it happens automatically and alerts you if something goes wrong.
Configured at Your Home
All backup solutions designed and configured on-site. We assess your specific needs, data volume and devices before recommending a solution — not a generic one-size-fits-all approach.
Home & Business Solutions
Whether you need a simple external drive backup for a home computer or a complete automated backup strategy for a small business, we design and configure a reliable solution around your devices, storage requirements and recovery needs.
3-2-1 Backup Strategy
Best practice backup follows the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of data, on 2 different media, with 1 off-site. We design your backup solution around this principle where budget allows.
Covers All Your Devices
We configure backup solutions covering Windows PCs, laptops, Macs, NAS devices and mobile devices where applicable — a complete picture, not just one machine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the best backup solution for a home PC?
The best home backup follows the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of your data, on 2 different storage types, with 1 copy off-site. In practice this means an external drive backup plus a cloud backup service running automatically. We configure both on-site and verify they work.
Is cloud backup enough on its own?
Cloud backup is excellent for off-site protection but relies on your internet connection for both backup and recovery. We recommend combining cloud backup with a local external drive backup for fast recovery in the event of a major data loss.
How do I know if my backup is actually working?
Most people do not know — backup software often fails silently without any visible indication. The only reliable way to verify a backup is to perform an actual test restore. We test all backups by restoring real files before considering any backup setup job complete.
What is a NAS and do I need one?
A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a dedicated storage device connected to your home or office network that all your devices can back up to automatically. It is ideal for households or businesses with multiple computers, large amounts of data, or who want centralised storage beyond what an external drive provides.
Can you set up backup for a small business?
Yes. PC Doctor Onsite designs and implements backup solutions for small businesses — covering multiple PCs, shared drives and cloud data. We design the solution around your business’s specific data, retention requirements and recovery time objectives.
What happens to my backup if I get ransomware?
A proper backup is your most effective defence against ransomware. However, backups must be configured correctly — online cloud sync folders and network-connected drives can themselves be encrypted by ransomware. We configure backups with versioning and appropriate isolation to protect them from ransomware encryption.

These guys (Harry) came to pick up my faulty hard drive on the dot at the scheduled time; although it was beyond saving they didn't charge me a cent and was king enough to come and drop it back off within a few days. Great service!

I previously used a large company that advertises on radio and TV, and I was extremely disappointed. They tried to overcharge me and push unnecessary services.
I then called PC Doctor Onsite, and the experience was completely different. The technician was very knowledgeable, fixed my laptop issue quickly, and gave me honest, fair advice without trying to rip me off. I’m very pleased with the service and would highly recommend them.
