Exchange Email Backup
Independent backup of mailboxes, beyond Microsoft’s limited native retention.
Microsoft 365 doesn’t automatically back up your data the way most businesses assume — deleted files, accidental overwrites and ransomware are still real risks without a proper backup strategy.
Independent backup of mailboxes, beyond Microsoft’s limited native retention.
Protect documents and files from accidental deletion or overwrite, recoverable point-in-time.
Chat history, channel files and Teams content backed up independently of Microsoft’s retention.
Restore clean, verified data from before an attack, rather than relying only on prevention.
Restore a file, mailbox or site to exactly how it looked before an accidental change.
Microsoft’s own responsibility model is clear: they keep the infrastructure running, but data protection — backups, retention beyond short default windows, recovery from accidental deletion — is the customer’s responsibility.
Native retention windows are short and don’t protect against every scenario, especially ransomware that syncs encrypted files before anyone notices.
A proper backup setup covers Exchange Online mailboxes, SharePoint sites and document libraries, OneDrive for Business files, and Teams data — stored independently of your live Microsoft 365 tenant, with defined retention periods and tested recovery procedures.
A backup you’ve never actually tried to restore from isn’t a reliable safety net. We periodically verify that backups are actually recoverable, not just running silently in the background.
Microsoft protects against infrastructure failure, but their native retention for accidental deletion or ransomware recovery is limited and time-boxed. Independent backup covers gaps their built-in retention doesn’t.
This depends on the scope of what needs restoring — a single file can typically be recovered within minutes; a full mailbox or site restore takes longer. We’ll walk through specific recovery time expectations for your setup.
No, independent backup is a separate service on top of your Microsoft 365 subscription — native retention alone isn’t equivalent to a real backup strategy.
