Microsoft 365 Backup
CloudTech24 deliver enterprise-grade protection for Microsoft 365 data with secure, resilient storage and validated recovery assurance. Our capabilities include:
- Daily backup of Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams

- Ransomware-resilient, immutable storage options
- Unlimited backup retention

Why do I need a third-party Microsoft 365 managed backup service?
Native retention does not equal backup. Microsoft 365 provides data redundancy and retention features, but it is not a full backup solution. It protects against infrastructure failures, but it does not guarantee recovery from accidental deletion, ransomware, or long-term data loss.
CloudTech24’s dedicated Microsoft backup solution provides:
- Point-in-time recovery
- Protection against accidental or malicious deletion
- Long-term data retention beyond Microsoft’s limits
- Independent, secure copies of your data.
In many industries (such as finance, healthcare and legal), backup is essential to meet data retention regulations, audit requirements and legal hold obligations. Our Microsoft cloud data backup system ensures full data protection and compliance, safeguarding your organisation from business-critical losses.
Simple, swift and secure
Backup processes run in the background without impacting user performance or productivity. Should data restoration be required, we can provide both full and granular restore, we search and identify the data you need and restore directly back into Microsoft 365 without any user disruption.
Our Microsoft 365 backup solution includes; end-to-end encryption (in transit and at rest), secure data centre and role-based access controls. CloudTech24’s backup service helps protect your organisation against ransomware, by providing a clean, recoverable copy of your data from before the attack and allowing you to restore systems without paying a ransom.
