Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn't Microsoft already back up my Microsoft 365 data?
This is the most common misconception. Microsoft ensures service uptime, but under their Shared Responsibility Model, you are responsible for protecting your own data from threats like accidental deletion, internal attacks, and ransomware. Given that 53% of organisations have experienced data loss in their SaaS applications, a separate backup is critical.
How does a backup service protect us from ransomware?
With 89% of ransomware attacks targeting backup repositories, standard backups are not enough. Our service can provide immutable (un-changeable and un-deletable) copy of your data. This acts like a secure data safe, guaranteeing that even if your live environment is compromised, a clean, recoverable copy of your data is always available.
Can we manage our own day-to-day restores?
Yes. Our solution is designed for Hybrid Management, blending self-service speed with expert support. We empower your IT team with a self-service model to handle daily restore tasks independently, such as recovering a deleted file or a lost inbox, without the delay of logging a support ticket
What applications and data within Microsoft 365 do you protect?
Everything – our service provides comprehensive protection across the entire Microsoft 365 suite. This includes user and shared mailboxes in Exchange Online, entire sites and file structures in SharePoint Online, user files and folders in OneDrive for Business, and all components of Microsoft Teams, including posts, channels, and files.
What if we decide to change our backup provider in the future?
Your data is always your data. With over half of organisations considering changing their backup provider each year, we understand the importance of data freedom. Our service has no vendor lock-in. Should you choose to leave, we guarantee a process for you to take all your historical backup data with you.
How long does it take to set up?
Getting started is quick and simple. Because this is a fully managed cloud service, there is no hardware to install or complex infrastructure for you to configure.
How is the service priced?
