Your cloud platforms contain critical business data, but most SaaS providers operate on a shared responsibility model, meaning data protection, retention, and recovery are still your responsibility. ARO’s Cloud Backup service provides secure, automated cloud-to-cloud backup for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. While your team manages day-to-day operations, ARO performs monthly checks to ensure backups are running reliably and your critical data remains protected.

Cloud Backup Services FAQs
No. Microsoft 365 provides high availability but does not offer comprehensive backup or long-term data retention. Under the shared responsibility model, customers are responsible for protecting and recovering their own data. ARO’s Cloud Backup service fills this gap with automated, immutable backups and granular recovery options.
Cloud backup is ideal for:
- Organisations using Microsoft 365 and Entra ID
- Businesses with compliance or retention obligations
- IT teams concerned about ransomware or data loss
- Organisations seeking a managed, low-overhead backup solution
Cloud backup is the process of copying and storing data in a secure, off-site cloud environment so it can be restored in the event of data loss, deletion, cyber attack, or system failure. Cloud backup services provide automated protection and rapid recovery without relying on on-premises infrastructure.
Cloud backup ensures business-critical data remains available and recoverable, even during unexpected incidents. It protects organisations from accidental deletion, ransomware, system outages, and human error, while supporting business continuity and regulatory compliance.
