Many organisations assume Microsoft 365 protects their data by default. In reality, Microsoft guarantees service availability, not long-term backup or recovery.
M365 Backup as a Service (M365 BaaS) from Telefónica Tech delivers secure, fully managed backup and recovery for Microsoft 365, ensuring your data is protected against deletion, ransomware and compliance risks.
Independent backup. Immutable protection. UK-hosted and fully managed.
M365 BaaS is a fully managed backup and recovery platform designed to protect Microsoft 365 data, including Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams.
It provides automated backups, granular restore capabilities and secure, UK-hosted storage, removing the need for customers to manage backup infrastructure or software.
Understanding the difference between native Microsoft capabilities and true backup is critical.
M365 BaaS delivers true backup and recovery, while native Microsoft capabilities focus on service availability, not data protection.
Delivers service availability and uptime, but with limited retention and recovery windows. It does not guarantee long-term backup or full recoverability.
Provides an independent, off-platform backup of all critical data, enabling long-term retention and full recovery. It also supports granular restores without relying on Microsoft tools.
Despite these challenges, organisations often hesitate to explore alternatives due to common objections:
“Microsoft already backs up our data” → only ensures uptime, not full recovery or long-term retention
“We use retention policies” → does not provide true backup or restore flexibility
“We can manage this ourselves” → increases complexity and operational risk
We provide a fully managed Microsoft 365 backup platform where Telefónica Tech protects your data using secure, UK-hosted infrastructure and enterprise-grade backup technology, delivering daily automated backup cycles and comprehensive coverage across Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. The service enables item-level restore for mail, files and collaboration data via a secure self-service portal, giving IT teams granular recovery control. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in UK-hosted, immutable storage to safeguard against ransomware, and supported by fully managed onboarding, continuous monitoring and platform maintenance.
