Microsoft’s own shared responsibility model makes it clear: they protect the infrastructure; protecting your data is your problem. We provide automated, daily Microsoft 365 backup of your entire environment – email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams – with instant, granular recovery. Whether you call it Microsoft 365 backup or Office 365 backup, the protection is the same – because the risk of losing your data is very real.
They don't. Microsoft provides basic retention and recoverability, but they explicitly state in their shared responsibility model that data protection is the customer's responsibility.
If a user permanently deletes an email or a SharePoint document – accidentally or maliciously – Microsoft's recycle bin has a limited retention window. After that, the data is gone.
Cloud storage syncs in both directions. If a device is encrypted by ransomware, those encrypted files can sync to OneDrive and SharePoint – overwriting your good copies.
When you delete a user's Microsoft 365 account, their mailbox, OneDrive, and personal SharePoint data are deleted after a retention period. Without backup, that institutional knowledge is lost.
GDPR, Cyber Essentials, and many industry regulations require you to demonstrate that data can be recovered. If you can't, you have a compliance gap.
A simple, secure connection to your Microsoft 365 environment. No software to install. No disruption to your team.
Every day, we back up your entire Microsoft 365 environment – email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Stored securely in UK-based, encrypted cloud storage.
Accidentally deleted an email from six months ago? Need to restore a SharePoint site? An ex-employee’s entire mailbox? We recover it – usually within minutes.
This is the most common misconception we encounter. Microsoft provides retention and recoverability – not backup. Here’s how they differ:
If someone deletes a mailbox, a critical SharePoint site, or an entire OneDrive folder – and you don’t notice until 4 months later – Microsoft’s retention won’t help you. Microsoft 365 backup will.
Microsoft 365 backup (sometimes called Office 365 backup) is priced per user, per month. For businesses on our managed IT support plans, backup is included at no additional cost.
Compare this to the cost of data loss: hours of employee downtime, potential compliance fines, client trust damage, and the operational disruption of recreating lost work. Microsoft 365 backup is one of the highest-ROI investments a business can make.
