How it works
- Map what matters. We identify the systems and data your business genuinely cannot operate without, and agree how quickly each needs to be back.
- Protect. We configure automated, monitored backups for servers, devices, and Microsoft 365, kept separate from your live systems.
- Test and document. We run scheduled test restores and keep a written recovery plan, so a bad day stays a short one.
Frequently asked questions
Does Microsoft 365 need backing up?
In most cases, yes. Native retention in Microsoft 365 is limited and is not a substitute for a proper backup. A separate backup protects email, OneDrive, and SharePoint against accidental deletion and account compromise.
How often are backups tested?
On a schedule, not just when something goes wrong. A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan — test restores are built into how we run this service.
Can backups protect us from ransomware?
They are your most important recovery tool. We keep protected copies separated from live systems so an attacker who encrypts your machines cannot also reach the backups, and we pair this with preventative security.
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup is the copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the wider plan: what gets restored first, onto what, by whom, and how long it takes. We help with both.
