Microsoft doesn't back up your data the way you think

Microsoft 365 keeps your services running, but under its shared responsibility model, protecting your data is your job. Deleted items and version history are kept for limited periods, and if an attacker or an angry employee deletes or encrypts files, those copies may not save you. A separate Microsoft 365 backup covers Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, with point-in-time restores going back as far as you choose.

Immutable means ransomware can't touch it

Modern ransomware hunts for backups and deletes them first. Immutable backups are written so that nobody, including an attacker with admin passwords, can change or delete them until the retention period ends. Combined with backups stored off-site and outside your main accounts, that's the copy that gets you back.

Disaster recovery is a plan, not a product

We document what needs to come back first, how long you can be down (your recovery time objective), and how much data you can afford to lose (your recovery point objective). Then we test restores on a schedule and send you the results. A backup you haven't tested is a hope, not a plan.

Backup & Disaster Recovery FAQ

Do I need a separate backup for Microsoft 365?

Yes, for most businesses. Microsoft protects the service, not your data, and its retention features weren't designed as a backup. A third-party backup gives you longer retention, independent copies and fast restores of single items or entire sites.

What is an immutable backup?

A backup that can't be changed or deleted, even by an administrator, until its retention period ends. It's the best protection against ransomware that targets backups.

How often do you test restores?

At least quarterly, and after any major change. You get a report showing what was restored and how long it took.

What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the plan and the tooling to get the whole business running again: which systems first, where they run, and who does what.
