Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backups that survive ransomware, fire and human error — and that we actually test.

Most pharmacies discover their backup is broken on the day they need it. Local USB drives left plugged in, NAS devices encrypted by ransomware, Microsoft 365 deletions silently aged out — these are the failures we see during incident response calls.

WAPIT builds 3-2-1-1-0 backup posture for every pharmacy: three copies of data, on two media, one off-site, one immutable, zero errors on test restores. Then we test it — quarterly, with you watching.

What's included

Built for Australian pharmacy operations.

Immutable cloud backups

Object-locked, ransomware-proof copies in Australian Azure or AWS regions.

Dispensing-aware schedules

Backup windows that respect end-of-day, S8 register cut-offs and PBS claim runs.

Microsoft 365 protection

Mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams backed up beyond Microsoft's native retention.

Image-based server backup

Bare-metal restore of dispensing and POS servers to dissimilar hardware or Azure.

Documented RTO / RPO

Recovery targets agreed in writing per system — not a vague 'we have backups'.

Quarterly test restores

Real restore drills with you in the room. You see the data come back.

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

Do you backup Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft's native retention is not a backup. We use a dedicated immutable backup product for Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams.

How long do we keep backups?

Default is 7 years for clinical data and 12 months for general data, but we tailor retention to your legal and clinical obligations.
