Microsoft 365 backup for Canadian businesses

Microsoft keeps its cloud running - but accidental deletes, ransomware, departing employees, and retention gaps still cost Canadian SMBs real data. Proper Microsoft 365 backup is separate from the platform itself.

Why native tools are not enough on their own

  • Deleted mail and files can pass retention windows before anyone notices.
  • Ransomware or account takeover can encrypt or wipe SharePoint and OneDrive content that syncs everywhere.
  • Staff offboarding often removes the only copy of important mailbox or OneDrive data.
  • Compliance and insurance questionnaires increasingly ask whether M365 is independently backed up.

What we set up and watch

  • Exchange Online, OneDrive, and SharePoint backup coverage appropriate to your tenant size.
  • Canadian data residency options where available and required by your clients or policies.
  • Restore tests so recovery is practiced, not theoretical.
  • Ongoing care as part of Unified IT, including alerts when backups fail.

FAQ

Doesn't Microsoft already back this up?

Microsoft protects the service. Independent backup protects your content against deletes, retention gaps, and many attack scenarios.

Can backups stay in Canada?

Often yes, depending on the backup product and plan. We select options that match your residency requirements.

Nothing here is a guarantee, SLA, or legal/insurance advice. Scope is agreed with each client.
