Backup & Disaster Recovery.Restore when it matters.
Cloud backup, recovery planning and business continuity — so you can recover Microsoft 365 data, endpoints and servers after ransomware, hardware failure or human error.
Why proper backup matters
Built-in recycle bins and basic snapshots are not enough when something goes seriously wrong.
Ransomware & malware
Attackers often encrypt or delete local and connected backups. Independent, protected copies are essential.
Human error
Accidental deletion, overwrites and bad changes happen. You need a clean point in time to restore from.
Hardware & infrastructure failure
Disks fail, servers crash and cloud tenants can be compromised. Recovery must not depend on the failed system.
Microsoft 365 data loss
Microsoft retains data for limited periods. Long-term retention and granular restore need a dedicated backup strategy.
Compliance & audit
Many industries and clients expect demonstrable backup and recovery capability — not just “we have OneDrive.”
Business continuity
The goal is not only data recovery — it is getting people working again with minimal downtime.
What we protect
Coverage tailored to the systems your business actually depends on.
Microsoft 365
Exchange Online mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint sites and Teams data — with retention beyond native limits and granular restore options.
Endpoints & workstations
Laptops and desktops — so user files and local data can be recovered after device loss, theft or failure.
Servers & cloud workloads
On-premises servers, virtual machines and cloud infrastructure with appropriate retention and recovery points.
Critical business data
Shared drives, application data and other systems identified during discovery as essential to operations.
How we approach backup & recovery
A structured process so protection matches your risk and recovery needs.
Assess
Identify critical systems, data locations, current backups and realistic recovery requirements.
Design
Define what is protected, retention, recovery targets (RPO/RTO) and how restores will work.
Deploy
Implement cloud or hybrid backup, configure policies and verify initial successful backups.
Verify & maintain
Monitor jobs, test restores periodically and adjust as systems and risks change.
Common gaps we see
Issues that leave businesses exposed even when they believe they are “backed up.”
Only relying on Microsoft retention
Recycle bins and version history help with short-term mistakes — not long-term retention or full recovery after a major incident.
Backups that are never tested
Unverified backups can fail when you need them. Regular restore tests confirm recovery actually works.
Same-site or connected storage only
Backups stored on the same network or account can be encrypted or deleted in the same attack that hits production.
No clear recovery plan
Knowing data exists is not enough. You need defined owners, steps and priorities for restoring critical systems first.
