Microsoft 365 Backup in Derry

Backing up Derry 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

Microsoft 365 Backup in Derry — 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 County Londonderry?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Derry and the surrounding County Londonderry area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Derry businesses do you usually work with?
Cross-border trading systems for businesses working into Donegal, and manufacturing tooling for the north west. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Healthcare, Higher Education, Digital and Tourism.
Do you cover the areas around Derry?
Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn. Derry is an urban area of roughly 85,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Londonderry region rather than the city boundary alone.
