Cloud Backup for Sheffield Businesses
Microsoft protects the platform. You still need to protect your data.
If emails, files or accounts are deleted, compromised or encrypted, you need a backup that lets you recover quickly – not guess what might still be there.
Cloud backup for Microsoft 365, servers and endpoints - without the guesswork
Microsoft protects the platform. You still need to protect your data.
If emails, files or accounts are deleted, compromised or encrypted, you need a backup that lets you recover quickly - not guess what might still be there. A lot of businesses we speak with only realise they need proper backup when something has already gone wrong.
Why Microsoft 365 backup still matters
Microsoft 365 runs on a shared responsibility model. Microsoft keeps the service available, but protecting your data still sits with you. That includes accidental deletion, ransomware, malicious actions and compromised accounts.
Microsoft 365 backup options we support
We support three Microsoft 365 backup options because not every organisation needs the same thing. Some need straightforward Microsoft 365 backup. Some need Google Workspace backup too. Others need to think about Entra ID and identity recovery.

What we often see in Sheffield businesses
“We thought Microsoft backed that up”
Until something is deleted or overwritten and there’s no clear way to get it back.
No tested recovery plan
Backups may exist somewhere, but nobody knows how quickly data can be restored.
Identity risk overlooked
If an account is compromised, attackers can delete or encrypt data using legitimate access.
Gaps between systems
Microsoft 365 might be considered, but servers and endpoints are often left exposed.
The difference backup makes
Without backup
Deleted or compromised data can turn into permanent loss, downtime and disruption.
With proper backup
You can restore emails, files and systems quickly and keep the business moving.
What needs backing up
Microsoft 365
Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data your business relies on daily.
Servers
Business-critical systems and shared data outside the cloud.
Endpoints
Laptops and desktops where important files often still live.
Backup and identity protection go together
Many incidents now start with a login, not a virus. If someone gets into Microsoft 365, they can quietly delete or change data. That’s why backup works best alongside identity protection.
Not sure what your backup actually covers?
We can quickly review your setup and show you what’s protected, what isn’t, and what recovery would look like if something went wrong.
