Cloud backup

Backups that work, tested every month.

Microsoft and Google don't back up your data the way you think they do. I provide independent, third-party backup for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, servers and endpoints, with restores actually tested every month and a clear retention you can rely on.

What's included

Microsoft 365 backup

Daily backup of mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. Granular restore of a single email or an entire site, kept for 90 days as standard.

Google Workspace backup

Full backup of Gmail, Drive, shared drives, calendars and contacts. Recover from accidental deletion, ransomware or a departing staff member.

Server & endpoint image backup

Whole-machine images of servers and workstations, with bare-metal restore. Hardware fails, laptops get stolen, you carry on.

Ransomware resilient

Backups are stored off-site in an account separate from your day-to-day systems, so an attacker on your network can't reach them.

Tested restores

I run real restore tests every month, not just 'the job completed' checks. You see the results in your monthly report.

Clear retention

Sensible, documented retention periods that match your sector. No surprises if you need to recover something from last quarter.

What you can expect

  • Recover any file, mailbox or system in minutes, not days
  • Meet funder, regulator and insurer expectations on backup
  • Sleep through ransomware headlines
  • Confidence that restores actually work, because we test them

Cloud Backup FAQ

Common questions.

  • No. Microsoft protects the platform, not your data. If a user, attacker or sync error deletes something, it's gone after the standard retention window. Independent backup is your safety net.

  • Standard retention is 90 days for mailboxes and files. We can extend or shorten this to match your sector or insurer requirements.

  • In UK and EU data centres, encrypted in transit and at rest, in an account separate from your live systems. Full details available on request.

  • Individual files and emails are typically restored in minutes. Whole servers or mailboxes depend on size, but most are back inside a few hours.
