Microsoft 365 Cloud Backup

cimply’s Microsoft 365 Cloud Backup protects your email, files and Teams data with automated, recoverable backups stored independently of Microsoft’s infrastructure. If data is deleted, corrupted or compromised, recovery is measured in minutes, not days.

The Business Challenge

Microsoft’s job is to keep the platform running. Your data is your responsibility.

Accidental deletion, malicious insider activity, ransomware and retention gaps all sit outside Microsoft’s remit. Independent backup closes that gap completely.

What’s included

  • Exchange Online backup

    Full mailboxes, archive mailboxes and shared mailboxes captured multiple times a day.

  • OneDrive for Business backup

    Every user's files, including version history, recoverable to any point in time.

  • SharePoint Online backup

    Sites, libraries, lists and permissions captured so a recovery actually restores the way the team works.

  • Microsoft Teams backup

    Chats, channels, files and team settings, restorable as a Teams object, not just files.

  • Independent off-platform storage

    Backups stored in Australian data centres outside the Microsoft tenant, so a tenant-wide event does not take your backup with it.

  • Granular recovery

    Restore a single email, a single document version or an entire site, without affecting anything else.

  • Long-term retention

    Retention configured to your compliance obligations, not to Microsoft's default windows.

  • Verified recoverability

    Backups are tested on a regular schedule. Recovery is something we have already proven before you need it.

Why it matters

  • Accidents stop being expensive. A user who deletes the wrong folder is a five-minute conversation, not a project. Recovery is quick, surgical and complete.
  • Ransomware loses its grip. If endpoints or cloud data are encrypted, an independent backup means you have a clean point to recover to. Negotiation is off the table.
  • Departing staff don’t take your data with them. Mailboxes, files and Teams content are retained and recoverable long after a leaver’s licence is reclaimed.
  • Compliance retention is satisfied. Your obligations on retention and recoverability are met with evidence, not assumption.
  • Confidence is something we can demonstrate. Recovery tests are run, results are reported and the recoverability of your business is something we have already proven this quarter.

How we’re different

Most providers rely on Microsoft to be your backup. Microsoft doesn’t agree.

cimply runs your Microsoft 365 backup as an independent service with independent storage, tested recoveries and clear ownership. The data belongs to you, the responsibility for it belongs to us.

Contact us
  • Microsoft protects the platform and offers limited retention for accidental deletion. It does not provide the long-term, granular, recoverable backup that ransomware, compliance and departing-staff scenarios require.
