Understanding the problem
The real problem usually appears after data has gone
Businesses depend on Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration and file storage, but cloud storage alone doesn’t guarantee full data protection. A deleted mailbox, a lost SharePoint file or a ransomware attack can halt operations when there’s no dedicated recovery strategy.
Microsoft 365’s native features were never designed to replace a dedicated backup. We close that gap with reliable backup, proactive monitoring and fast recovery, built around how your teams actually work.
Backup sits alongside your Microsoft 365 tenancy covering Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, with restores handled by us rather than left to you to work out. It is priced per user at a fixed monthly cost rather than bundled into rigid packages, so it scales with your team. Everything runs through the same UK service desk that handles your day-to-day tickets, so there is no separate team to chase.

Microsoft 365 backup FAQs
Not covered here? Ask us directly — same working day response.
020 4634 2518Doesn’t Microsoft already back up my data?
Microsoft 365 includes retention features, but they weren’t designed to replace a dedicated backup. A deleted mailbox, a lost SharePoint file or a ransomware attack can leave you without a reliable way to recover, which is exactly the gap dedicated backup closes.
Which Microsoft 365 services do you protect?
We provide dedicated backup for Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, covering the email, files, records and conversations your teams rely on every day.
How do we know our backups are actually working?
We monitor backups continuously and validate recovery, so you have ongoing confidence in backup health and recovery readiness, rather than finding out only when something goes wrong.
How quickly can lost data be recovered?
Dedicated backup means faster restoration of critical data. We provide practical recovery support to minimise disruption and restore team access quickly.

Brands we partner with
