Microsoft 365 Backup Services
Our bespoke Microsoft backup services protect your 365 data from deletion, corruption, malware, and other threats.
What is Microsoft 365 Backup?
ARO’s backup solutions for businesses offer a secure and automated way to capture Microsoft 365 data and track data modifications at regular intervals. This minimises the impact of unplanned downtime and outages by safeguarding against data loss and enabling faster data recovery.
Microsoft 365 itself offers limited protection against accidental deletions and data loss following cyber-attacks. Alone, it isn’t a sufficient backup strategy. As a result, businesses come to ARO to find a reliable backup service that adds robustness to their disaster recovery plans.

Microsoft 365 Backup as a Service FAQs
01Why is backing up Microsoft 365 data important?
Backing up Microsoft 365 data provides a layer of protection, allowing organisations to recover critical information and maintain business continuity.
02How does 365 backup work?
365 Backup regularly and securely copies Microsoft 365 data to a separate, independent storage location. This means that if data loss or corruption does happen, organisations are able to restore the backed-up data to its original state.
03What is Microsoft’s shared responsibility model?
Microsoft’s shared responsibility divides responsibilities between Microsoft and the customers using Microsoft 365 services. While Microsoft ensures the security and availability of the infrastructure, customers are responsible for protecting their data within the Microsoft 365 environment.
