We all know that regular backups are critical to ensure your business’ valuable data is safe. However, without an offsite backup solution, you can never be entirely protected. It is simply not enough to rely on Network-Attached Storage (NAS) or an external USB device.
An offsite backup, specifically a cloud backup solution, will help protect your critical data in the event of an unexpected disaster, such as a flood, fire or theft. They play a crucial part in your disaster recovery plan and can help minimise downtime; therefore, increasing productivity.

From minor data restore options to more complex circumstances, you’re covered with a solution that provides seamless recovery and minimal disruption.
Proactive Protection Against Security Drift
Ongoing adjustments (new users, applications, and updates) can create unintended gaps in your cyber security framework. Our backup solution helps detect unauthorised modifications, policy misconfigurations, or accidental deletions before they lead to bigger risks. Continuous monitoring and precise rollback options give you the ability to identify changes, restore secure settings, support compliance and maintain data integrity.
Restore What You Need, When You Need It
Whether you need to restore a single deleted file or recover from a major outage – we get that not every data loss event is the same. So, having flexible recovery options can support a range of circumstances. Our backup solutions enable you to recover exactly what you need, when you need it. With easy-to-use restore tools and built-in safeguards, you can roll back unintended changes without undoing other, important updates.
Support Compliance and Cyber-Readiness with Reliable Backups
Having a backup strategy is an indispensable component of a strong cyber security posture. ONGC’s approach is aligned with the Australian government’s best-practice guidelines for protecting against cyber threats, the Essential Eight framework. A backup solution is one of the eight strategies recommended to protect against cyber threats, making it easier for your business to recover quickly from cyber incidents, system failures, or unintentional data loss.
Yes, it’s an invaluable protection against the unexpected. But it can also help you meet legal and regulatory obligations.

If you think all backup solutions are the same, you wouldn’t be the first! But there’s an important difference to distinguish. Regular backups usually store a copy of your data locally, such as on your own computer or network or within the cloud solution you use daily. Offsite backups, on the other hand, keep your data in a separate, secure location (like a separate cloud server or remote storage facility).
Offsite backups offer extra protection by ensuring your data is safe from things like hardware failure, theft, or natural disasters. And they’re encrypted for extra security.
Many Australian organisations are responsible for meeting regulatory frameworks, like the Privacy Act. While the Privacy Act doesn’t explicitly state data backups are a requirement, it does outline businesses must take ‘reasonable steps’ to protect personal information. This generally includes robust data backup practices to prevent potential data loss and breaches (especially considering the “Notifiable Data Breach” scheme, where organisations must report significant data breaches). Securely storing and encrypting data offsite is a valuable element of protecting sensitive information.
You may be familiar with something called a retention window – the period during which your data is stored and can be recovered after being deleted or corrupted. This is typically limited (Microsoft 365, for instance, has a 93-day window). Once this passes, it’s typically much harder (if not impossible) to recover that data through the standard recycle bin. Offsite backups store data longer, so you can still restore it even after it’s gone from default retention windows pass.
It’s easy to let data protection matters slide until a threat shows up at your door. By then, it’s often too late. Having a standard backup solution is a great first step. Implementing an offsite backup solution provides an additional layer of security – particularly against things like local disasters, theft or system crashes. It ensures your data is safely and securely stored in a secondary location so if on-site systems fail, you can restore without stress.
If you’re relying on standard backups, the answer is ‘maybe’. But with offsite backups: yes. With an offsite backup solution, your data is stored in the cloud or in a remote storage facility. This means you can restore important data, even if your entire system goes down. This can help your business get back up and running fast, with minimal downtime.
