Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 That Goes Where Your Subscription Stops

Microsoft 365 provides robust cloud-based services for businesses, but it does not offer built-in backup for important data such as emails, documents, and user data within services like Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Relying on the retention policies within Microsoft 365 alone is insufficient for long-term data protection and recovery.

Without a dedicated backup solution, businesses are at risk of data loss due to accidental deletions, security threats such as ransomware or phishing, or system outages. Apex Computing implements automated, comprehensive cloud backup for Microsoft 365 that fills this gap, ensuring your emails, files, and user data are securely backed up to both local and cloud storage and can be restored quickly when needed.

What Microsoft 365 Cloud Backup Actually Does for your Business

Microsoft’s responsibility stops where yours begins. Here is how our professional 365 backup services protect your data and compliance posture.

It closes the gap Microsoft's retention policies leave open

Microsoft's retention policies are not a backup. Backing up your Microsoft 365 data ensures compliance, guards against data corruption, and keeps your emails and files accessible beyond the default limits built into the platform.

It protects against accidental deletion

Accidental deletions, internal threats, and external cyber attacks like ransomware can all compromise your data. A dedicated backup ensures that data is recoverable when it needs to be, regardless of how it was lost.

It keeps your business running after a cyber attack

If ransomware or a phishing attack compromises your Microsoft 365 environment, having a backup stored in an air-gapped cloud environment means your data remains safe and recoverable, even if the live environment is affected.

It supports compliance and legal requirements

As businesses increasingly rely on Microsoft 365 for day-to-day operations, data loss can significantly impact productivity, financial stability, and compliance with data protection regulations. Having a reliable backup ensures continuous access to critical data and helps safeguard your business from potential liabilities.

It reduces downtime and ensures continuity

With seamless recovery options, you can restore emails, files, and entire accounts quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime and ensuring your operations continue with as little disruption as possible.

What Are the Limitations of This Service

This backup solution is specifically designed for data protection and recovery. It is worth being clear about what it does not cover.

It is not an email journalling solution

This product does not provide email journalling for compliance or legal archiving purposes. Businesses requiring email journalling should consider a separate product tailored to those needs.

It does not protect against internal data leaks or misuse

While it safeguards data from accidental loss or external threats, this backup solution does not monitor or prevent internal data leaks or misuse by employees.

It is not a replacement for security tools

While it backs up data, this product does not include endpoint protection or real-time security measures such as antivirus or malware detection.

Case Study

Protecting Critical IP with Secure, Tamper-Proof Backups for Compact Instruments

Compact Instruments, a manufacturer and global distributor of calibration units, electronic stethoscopes, and other specialist instruments, switched to Apex Computing after discovering their previous IT provider's backup solution was wholly inadequate.

As Lee Crossey-Wilkinson explained:

"More than this, as they talked us through their process, it became apparent that our previous IT company hadn't been offering us a proper service. Their backup solution was disgraceful, so much so that if a big issue had occurred, our server would have needed to have been rebuilt from scratch. It's a blessing that Apex Computing came along when they did, as they really opened our eyes as to the level of support we need when it comes to our IT."
