A backup is only useful if you can restore from it when it counts. We set up automated backups for your files, servers and Microsoft 365, test that they actually restore, and plan how your business keeps running if something goes wrong. If data is already lost, our data recovery service can help.

- **Data recovery**: Recovering lost or deleted data from failed hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays and other devices.

- Less downtime when something goes wrong
- Protection against ransomware data loss
- A plan your team knows how to follow

## Frequently asked questions

### Doesn't Microsoft back up our Microsoft 365 data?

Microsoft keeps the service running, but its retention options are limited. A separate backup protects you against accidental deletion, ransomware and departing staff.

### How often should we back up?

It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. For most businesses, at least daily automated backups are a sensible starting point.

### Can you recover data from a failed drive?

Often, yes. Stop using the device and contact us. The chances of recovery depend on the type of failure, and we'll explain your options after assessing it.
