Problems we solve
What we typically untangle.
Microsoft Doesn't Back Up
Many businesses assume Microsoft backs up their data. They don't—you're responsible for your own data protection.
Accidental Deletion
Users delete emails, files, or entire folders by mistake. Without backup, recovery options are limited.
Compliance Requirements
Legal holds, eDiscovery, and retention requirements need proper archiving solutions.
Ex-Employee Data
When staff leave and licences are removed, their data can be lost unless properly archived.

Common questions
Microsoft provides data resilience but limited backup and recovery. Deleted emails are only recoverable for a limited period. We recommend third-party backup for comprehensive protection and long-term retention.
