Microsoft 365 is not a backup solution. Your emails, SharePoint files, Teams conversations, and OneDrive data have far less protection than most businesses realize — and recovering deleted or corrupted data without a proper backup can be impossible.
"Our data is in Microsoft 365, so it's backed up and safe." — This is one of the most dangerous assumptions in small business IT.
Microsoft 365 Business Standard retains deleted items for 30–93 days depending on the service and how the deletion occurred. After that, data may be permanently unrecoverable. And that's before accounting for accidental deletion, malicious deletion by a disgruntled employee, ransomware encrypting cloud-synced files, or data loss during an account misconfiguration.
Microsoft's own Services Agreement recommends that businesses back up their data using third-party tools. We do that for every managed client — automatically, continuously, and with a retention period that actually meets compliance requirements.
We provide fully managed, hands-free backup for every critical data source your business relies on — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, endpoints, and servers. Automated daily backups, monitored continuously, with retention periods that match your compliance requirements.
You don't have to think about it. We monitor backup job status, verify successful completion, test recovery procedures, and alert you to any failures — before they become a crisis.
Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — all backed up daily with point-in-time recovery and retention up to 7 years.
Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, and Contacts — backed up with the same frequency and retention as M365 environments.
Device and server backup with monitored job status, configurable retention, and rapid restore capability for physical and virtual machines.
Vendor-selected based on your environment — immutable, ransomware-proof storage with tested disaster recovery runbooks.
Most compliance frameworks require data retention well beyond what Microsoft and Google provide by default. NYDFS Part 500 requires audit trail retention for six years. HIPAA requires medical records for six years from creation or last use. SEC rules require certain records for three to seven years.
Our backup solution provides configurable retention periods up to seven years, with automated backup verification, documented recovery procedures, and the evidence packages you need for compliance audits and cyber insurance renewals.
