Microsoft 365 is not a backup solution. It retains deleted items for a limited window and offers no protection against ransomware that encrypts live data, or gradual data loss that goes undetected for weeks. We manage a separate backup layer that covers both your on-premises server data and your Microsoft 365 environment — stored independently, outside Microsoft's retention window and outside their control.

Recovery capability, not just backup software

The operational value is restoration capability, not simply owning backup software. We actively monitor backup jobs, validate that recoveries are viable, and know how to restore specific files, mailboxes, or entire systems when needed. That's the difference between a backup and a recovery plan — and it's a difference most firms only discover at the worst possible moment.

Why Microsoft 365 alone isn't enough. Retention policies and the recycle bin help within a 30–93 day window, but accidental deletion, ransomware, and careless offboarding all cause permanent loss outside it. We break this down in detail in our article below.

The gap between "my data is in the cloud" and "my data is backed up" is one of the most common — and most expensive — misunderstandings we see. We explain exactly what Microsoft does and doesn't protect in Microsoft 365 Doesn't Back Up Your Data the Way You Probably Think It Does. Backup also works hand in hand with security and monitoring: prevention and recovery are two halves of the same resilience strategy.
