Microsoft 365 Backup

Fully automated, encrypted backup of your entire Microsoft 365 environment — running silently in the background, up to 12 times a day. When something goes wrong, granular restore means you recover exactly what you need: a single email, a specific file, or an entire mailbox.

  • Up to 12 automated backups per day
  • Granular restore — single email, file, or full mailbox
  • Covers Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Contacts & Calendar
  • Encrypted, unlimited cloud storage
  • Ransomware and accidental deletion recovery

The risk story sells itself

One ransomware attack or accidental bulk deletion proves the value. Microsoft’s own service agreement disclaims responsibility for your data.

Gmail · Drive · Shared Drives · Contacts · Calendar · Tasks

Google Workspace Backup

Daily automated backup for the full Google Workspace suite with unlimited storage and point-in-time granular restore. Most Google Workspace users don’t realise how thin Google’s native recovery window really is — until they need it.

  • Daily automated backups with point-in-time restore
  • Unlimited storage — no per-user caps
  • Covers Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, Contacts, Calendar & Tasks
  • Simple self-service restore for IT teams
  • No complex deployment — up and running in minutes

The risk gap

Google permanently deletes Drive files 30 days after the Trash, and admins have only 25 days to restore deleted data. Most businesses discover this limitation too late.

Compliance · Legal hold · eDiscovery · POPIA retention

Email Archiver

Real-time email archiving using envelope journaling — every sent and received email is captured the moment it is transmitted, not at scheduled intervals. Stored in tamper-proof WORM storage with a 7-year retention option and powerful eDiscovery tools for legal, HR, and compliance teams.

  • Real-time journaling — captures emails including those deleted by users
  • Tamper-proof WORM (Write Once, Read Many) storage
  • eDiscovery with 20+ search parameters and legal hold
  • Customisable retention policies — up to 7 years
  • Audit trails for finance, legal, healthcare and education

POPIA compliance

organisations in regulated industries — finance, law, healthcare, education — need a verifiable, tamper-proof record of communications. Backup alone doesn’t meet that standard. Archiving does.

Conditional Access · Intune · Roles · App registrations · BitLocker keys

Microsoft Entra ID Backup

Microsoft provides no undo for Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). A single misconfigured Conditional Access policy can lock your entire organisation out of Microsoft 365. This solution backs up your identity and configuration layer so you can restore specific settings — without affecting anything else.

  • Backs up Conditional Access policies, Intune and device policies
  • Covers user and group roles, app registrations and enterprise apps
  • Includes BitLocker recovery key backup
  • Point-in-time restore of specific settings — no collateral changes
  • Retains history beyond Microsoft’s 30-day audit log limit

Near-zero competition in this niche

Microsoft’s own documentation warns that misconfigurations will happen — yet they offer no native recovery. Any IT manager who has experienced an Entra misconfiguration immediately understands the value.

understand their data risk

When it matters most.

Backup and archiving aren’t insurance you never need — they’re capabilities that every SA business will eventually call on.

  • Ransomware attack Encrypted files. Deadline. Pay or restore. With automated offsite backup running multiple times daily, you restore clean data and get back to work — without paying a ransom.
  • Accidental or malicious deletion An employee deletes a shared drive. A departing staff member wipes their mailbox. A misconfigured script removes a folder. Granular restore recovers exactly what was lost — nothing more, nothing less.
  • Legal, HR or regulatory request A dispute triggers an eDiscovery request. You need every email between two parties over a 3-year window — including ones the sender deleted. Email Archiver surfaces it in seconds, with a full audit trail.
  • Identity misconfiguration — Entra ID lockout One wrong Conditional Access policy and your organisation can’t log into Microsoft 365. With Entra ID Backup, you roll back the specific setting in minutes — without affecting anything else.
  • POPIA audit or external compliance review When auditors ask how long you retain personal data and whether records are tamper-proof, you need more than a manual process. Immutable WORM archiving gives you a defensible, verifiable answer.
