Backup & recovery Backup of Microsoft 365, cloud and local systems, planned around recovery.

We map what is protected, agree what the business can afford to lose and keep the copies out of an attacker’s reach. Then we test that the restore works.

An example

The backup that said OK

Without a recovery plan

Every night the backup job reports success. Then ransomware encrypts the file server and, because the backup account has the same rights, the backups too. The last clean copy was deleted three weeks ago, when its retention period ran out.

With a recovery plan

The backups are kept apart from production and its sign-ins. Retention matches what you need to get back. Restore exercises show how long recovery takes, and there is a written plan to follow.

What we do

Scope

We map what you have in Microsoft 365, in the cloud and on your own servers, and document dependencies and gaps in protection.

What you can afford to lose

We set the acceptable data loss, the order of recovery and the time it may take, together with the business, and write it down.

Protected copies

We review retention, access and separation. The aim is a copy an attacker cannot reach.

Restore testing

We run a controlled restore exercise and write down the result, the limitations and the follow-up work.

This is the review, done as a project. When we run the backup for you, Microsoft 365 backup is part of Workspace, and server backup with Veeam is a service in Secure.

What you are left with

A written recovery plan

What you can afford to lose, what is restored first and how long it may take.

A measured restore time

How long recovery took in the exercise, set against what the business can live with.
