Backup

Backup for business data, Microsoft 365 and files

Copies of what your business runs on, kept in storage that is immutable and separately controlled, with restores that end in evidence rather than a shrug.

What EnterProtect backs up

Backup at EnterProtect covers three places business data actually lives. File backup handles servers and endpoints. Microsoft 365 backup covers mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, which Microsoft replicates for availability rather than retaining on your behalf indefinitely. Vault is where those copies are held: storage that is immutable once written, with access separated from the environment being protected, so the credentials that run your estate are not the credentials that could delete its last good copy. Every restore path uses the same sequence — pick a point, browse, select, choose a destination — so the procedure is learned once and applies everywhere.

Common questions

Does Microsoft 365 not back itself up?

Microsoft replicates data for availability and offers limited retention windows for deleted items. That covers hardware failure and short-term mistakes. It is a different thing from a retained, independently held copy you control the retention of and can restore from after the window has passed. EnterProtect provides the second.

What does immutable actually mean here?

A copy that cannot be altered or deleted before its retention expires, including by an administrator of the environment it came from. That property is what makes the copy useful specifically in the case where the environment itself is compromised.

How do we know a restore will work?

Because you run one. Restores produce evidence — a manifest of what was recovered — and a walkthrough will run one against a scenario you bring.

Bring a real scenario to the walkthrough. You keep the evidence it produces.
