What it is

Backup and Disaster Recovery, explained

A backup is only real if it restores. We back up servers, computers and Microsoft 365 to both a local device and the cloud, check the results every day as part of our monitoring, and run test restores on a schedule. When ransomware, a failed drive or a deleted folder happens, we know how long a recovery takes because we have already done it.

Who needs it

  • Any business whose records, drawings, contracts or accounts live on a computer
  • Firms that have a backup but have never seen it restore
  • Businesses on Microsoft 365 that assume Microsoft backs them up
  • Companies that need a written recovery plan for auditors, insurers or clients

Backup is the layer that makes ransomware survivable, so it is designed together with the protection, not bolted on.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Data is encrypted before it leaves your premises and stays encrypted in storage. Only your business holds the key.
Yes. Microsoft keeps the service running; it does not protect you from deletions, ransomware or a leaver removing files. We add an independent backup with its own retention.
