Microsoft Backup Management

Iron-clad defence against catastrophic data loss.

Microsoft strongly advises organisations to use third-party backup solutions to close the circle on all possible data loss scenarios. Under the Shared Responsibility Model, protecting your organisation’s data ultimately falls on your shoulders – but we can lighten the load.
