Managed Microsoft 365 backup for MSPs
We run the backups, restore-test them daily, and recover the data when something's lost. When a mailbox or file has to come back at 2am, our on-call does it while your techs sleep.
Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams•Immutable copies•Restore-tested daily
Every service, restore-tested. Here's what a night looks like.
Each cell is one restore test. The amber one failed overnight, caught and re-run before morning.

What in-house Microsoft 365 backup quietly costs you
Microsoft keeps the lights on. It won't rebuild your client's content for you. Here's what carrying that yourself runs to.
- Expires
Microsoft's retention isn't a backup
ExpiresRecycle bins and retention windows expire. Once they lapse, a deleted mailbox or file is gone for good.
- Thin margin
Per-user licensing eats the margin
Thin marginBackup licensing plus the hours your team spends managing it leave little margin on a service clients assume is already covered.
- Untested
Restores nobody has time to test
UntestedEveryone agrees M365 restores should be tested. Almost no one has time to open a restored mailbox and check it came back.
- One shot
One restore is the whole relationship
One shotWhen a client needs a deleted email back for a dispute, the recovery is the relationship. A single failed restore can undo years.
We open the mailbox and check it came back
A job that reports success hasn't proven a restore. We keep one independent copy, restore from it, and confirm the data actually opens.
One independent copy
A separate copy of Microsoft 365, held outside Microsoft entirely, so a bad day on their side can't touch it.
Mail · OneDrive · SharePoint · Teams
Opened and checked
Items are restored and actually opened: a message, a file, a site. We don't stop at a “backup successful” line. The contents are what we verify.
restored · opened · checksum OK
Caught on the desk
When a restore fails overnight, our on-call catches it, re-runs it, and confirms the data came back before your techs wake.

Immutable copies, checked by real restores
We run the platform enterprises trust for Microsoft 365, and restore-test it daily. Here's what's protected, and what's behind it.
Built on Dropsuite
An enterprise M365 backup platform, run by our team.
Immutable copies
Ransomware can't alter or delete them. Encrypted at rest and in transit.
Retention you set
Legal holds and departed-user data kept as long as your policy says.
No lock-in
Month to month. Your data stays portable.
Stays your brand
The monthly per-client report you hand over carries your logo, and Sahelay's name appears nowhere.
