Managed backup services
Secure your local company with business backup solutions
Each system your business relies on requires its own dedicated backup to recover email, files and machines after an outage or deletion.
Data backup and recovery
Reliable small business backup solutions keep separate copies
Modern businesses run several distinct systems for email, files, servers and websites. Every system gets backed up on its own schedule to independent storage.
- 1
Separate copies for every system
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, local servers and websites all require distinct backup plans to capture their specific data.
- 2
Copies sit outside your building
A 3-2-1 backup plan requires a separate copy in another location away from the hardware and software.
- 3
Restores undergo routine tests
Backup jobs that report success only show a file was written. Scheduled test restores confirm files open properly and databases function.

Systems to back up
File versions differ from separate backups
File versions and the recycle bin sit in the exact same Microsoft 365 tenant as your files. A compromised admin account, ransomware or a departing administrator can reach and destroy both current files and their versions simultaneously.

Microsoft and Google document deletion windows
Microsoft and Google document specific timelines for keeping deleted items. Once time runs out on vendor platforms, items are permanently purged from their systems.

Days from deletion
Once a vendor deletion window closes, only a separate backup can bring a missing item back to your business.
Source data comes directly from Microsoft Learn, Microsoft Support and Google Admin Help documentation.
Back up mailboxes before removing departed employee licenses
Mailboxes and OneDrive files get backed up before you remove a departing employee's license. Afterwards, Microsoft keeps email for 30 days before permanently deleting it. No backup product can capture data once the license disappears.
Routine procedures for backup jobs
- 1
Every system gets its own dedicated backup schedule
Every system gets listed with its own assigned backup schedule and target. Staff review the lists routinely as technology changes.
- 2
Copies go straight to entirely separate storage locations
Each copy is written away from the hardware and software it protects to prevent a single event from destroying both.
- 3
Failed backup jobs immediately trigger a support ticket
Backup jobs that fail raise a ticket instead of failing silently. Technicians look at unfinished jobs the same day.
- 4
Scheduled test restores prove your files actually open
Staff perform scheduled test restores instead of assuming copies work. Technicians record the elapsed time for each successful test.
Backup jobs that report success merely show a copy was written. Test restores confirm files actually open and databases function as expected.
Common questions about business backups
- Is Microsoft 365 already backed up?
Microsoft 365 keeps deleted items for a limited window, then they are gone, and a separate copy outside Microsoft 365 brings them back.
- Is versioning the same as a backup?
File versioning sits inside the same tenant as your active files. A compromised administrator account can delete the files and all their versions at the same time. A true backup stores copies entirely outside the platform.
- Can a storage box back up Microsoft 365 email and SharePoint?
UniFi's network storage help pages list OneDrive as a source, but email and SharePoint are absent. Microsoft 365 requires its own dedicated backup software to capture Exchange and SharePoint data properly.
- How is a departed employee's mailbox handled?
A departed employee's mailbox is one of the things businesses most often ask to restore. Staff back up the mailbox and OneDrive before removing the user license to copy the files before Microsoft purges them 30 days later.
- Where are the copies kept?
Microsoft 365 backups write to object storage like Microsoft Azure Blob or Amazon S3. Server images go straight to cloud storage or local network boxes. Each copy is explicitly kept apart from what it protects.
- Is Google Workspace backed up too?
CloudCentric backs up Gmail, Google Drive and shared drives to storage outside Google. CloudCentric carries out the restores to recover a deleted email, a missing file or a departed employee's entire mailbox long after Google's 30-day Trash window expires.
- What does a website need?
WordPress websites require copies of both their files and their databases to function. UpdraftPlus saves both halves together every day and sends them to remote storage completely separate from the web server.
- How do you know a restore works?
Technicians perform routine test restores on a schedule and record the results. A successful backup job only proves data was written, so active testing confirms files open and databases function properly.
