Microsoft provides limited retention and is not responsible for data you delete, accounts you remove or ransomware that encrypts your tenant. Independent M365 backup gives you point-in-time recovery and longer retention under your control.
Most businesses benefit from daily backups for servers and workstations, with more frequent snapshots for critical databases. We align schedules to your recovery time objectives during the scoping phase.
Yes. A backup that has never been restored is an untested assumption. We schedule regular restore tests, document the results and fix any issues before you need them in an emergency.
We follow documented recovery procedures: isolate affected systems, assess the impact, restore from clean immutable copies and verify data integrity before bringing services back online. Managed services clients receive priority response.
It works best that way. Backup monitoring, restore testing and recovery support are included in our managed services packages — standalone backup engagements are also available for businesses with existing IT support.
