Securely backup your email and files

All your data is in the cloud, so you're backed up aren't you? Not really. Cloud-based systems, such as email, are great because they're device independent, so if your phone breaks you can easily link it to another device. However, in many cases, the data is not backed up. A change on one device may cause an irreversible change across all devices.

As tools such as Teams, Outlook and OneDrive are becoming the norm for storing company data, keeping it safely backed up is essential and may even be a legal requirement. Your online copy does give you a degree of protection; versioning allows you to go back to previous document amendments and reinstate changes or deletions, while the recycle bin offers various grace periods before it's gone forever. This assumes users don't manually empty the recycle bins too.

We can provide backup solutions for email and cloud-based data in Microsoft 365.

Keep your email safe

Microsoft 365 Email Backup allows you to recover email even if it has been permanently deleted, enabling you to meet compliance requirements or recover from a ransomware attack. Microsoft 365 Email Backup stores all your email, contacts and calendars securely either locally to your network, to a cloud location or on to Strident's secure servers. The retrieval process is simple and secure, and using our servers will allow us to restore large amounts of data quickly using an external drive if required.

Keep your Microsoft 365 data safe

Using the Microsoft 365 Full Backup software, we back up all email, Teams, Sharepoint and OneDrive data to a separate, secure UK Microsoft data centre. As these are true backups, not just synchronised copies, all emails and files can be stored and restored for an indefinite period. It runs automatically in the cloud so requires no manual intervention or a computer to be left on.

Professionally configured and supported by Microsoft Gold Partners

Of course, it's possible to create a local backup system of your own. However, proven and automated systems that involve no user interaction work best. As Microsoft Gold Partners, we have completed the stringent technical exams required to securely configure your recovery system. You can be confident that your critical backups are being carried out properly.
