Microsoft 365 Backup in Cardiff
Backing up Cardiff organisations' Microsoft 365 data, which many assume is already handled. Microsoft operates the service and guarantees its availability; responsibility for your data remains yours, and the built-in recycle bins are short-term recovery rather than backup — a deletion discovered six months later is generally unrecoverable.
Why this comes up
The problem
Everything is in Microsoft 365 and nobody has established what happens if a mailbox is deleted, a site is wiped, or an account is compromised.
What you get
What we deliver
- Coverage across mail, files, sites and chat rather than mailboxes alone
- Retention set to reach back beyond how long deletions go unnoticed
- Backups held independently of the tenant they protect
- Restore tested, including a single item and a whole mailbox
- Leaver data handled, so departures do not remove what the business needs
- Retention obligations met, since some records must be kept for defined periods

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Microsoft 365 Backup in Cardiff — common questions
- Does Microsoft not back this up?
- Microsoft protects the service against its own failures and replicates data across its infrastructure. That is not the same as protecting you from deletion, ransomware or a departing employee clearing a mailbox, and the shared responsibility model states this explicitly.
- Are the recycle bins enough?
- For accidents noticed quickly, often yes. They hold deleted items for a limited period and then purge, so anything discovered after that window — which describes most serious data loss — is gone. Backup exists to cover exactly the gap the recycle bin leaves.
- What about a compromised account?
- This is the strongest argument for independent backup. An attacker with valid credentials can delete mail and files at scale, and native protections operate within the same tenant they have access to. Backups outside it are what make recovery possible.
- What happens to leavers' data?
- It usually disappears with the licence, which is how organisations lose project history and client correspondence months after someone departs. Deciding what to retain, for how long, and where it lives is a policy question the backup arrangement should implement.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
