Small retail business protects 2 PCs and 3 Office 365 accounts.

An Australian retailer with two shop-floor PCs and three Office 365 mailboxes needed simple, reliable backup without buying servers or licences. Backup Experts had them protected in minutes, with every copy stored in immutable Australian datacenter storage.

The challenge

The business relied on two Windows PCs for sales, stock, and bookkeeping, plus three Office 365 mailboxes holding customer and supplier correspondence. There was no IT staff, no server room, and no appetite for complex backup software.

The owner wanted automatic, off-site protection with a clear view of what was backed up — and the ability to restore files or emails quickly.

The outcome

  • 2 PCs backed up automatically with daily snapshots
  • 3 Office 365 accounts protected against data loss
  • No on-site backup server, storage or licences needed
  • Immutable copies stored in Australian datacenters
  • Automated restore verification every two weeks

How the setup ran

  1. 1

    Scope

    We identified the two PCs, the three Office 365 mailboxes, and the data that mattered most — POS files, documents, and email history.

  2. 2

    Install

    The backup agent was installed on each PC in minutes. Microsoft 365 was connected securely through Backup Experts' SaaS protection workflow.

  3. 3

    Protect

    Initial backups completed to Australian datacenters, then copied automatically to a separate immutable storage array with object-lock policies applied.

  4. 4

    Handover

    We ran a guided restore test and left the owner with simple instructions — plus direct phone and email support. Automated restore verification now runs every two weeks to confirm backups remain recoverable.
