Backup & Disaster Recovery
Because Hope Is Not a Strategy.
Ransomware, accidental deletion, a departing employee, a failed update — when data disappears, the only question that matters is: can you get it back? With TechSalty, the answer is always yes.

The Myth That Costs Businesses Everything
"It's in the cloud, so it's backed up" — no, it isn't.
Microsoft 365 runs on what's called a shared responsibility model: Microsoft guarantees the service stays online — but protecting your data is explicitly your responsibility. It's written into their service agreement.
Native retention helps with recent mistakes, but it was never designed to protect you from ransomware, malicious deletion, or anything you discover too late. That's why Microsoft itself recommends third-party backup.
What Microsoft 365 alone won't save you from
- Ransomware that encrypts or deletes synced files across OneDrive and SharePoint
- A leaver who empties their mailbox and files on the way out
- Deletions discovered after the retention window has passed
- Compromised admin accounts wiping data at scale
- Compliance demands for long-term, point-in-time recovery
What We Offer
We manage it all — end to end.
Every layer of your technology stack, handled by one accountable team.
Our Standard
The 3-2-1 backup rule — applied to everything.
The gold standard of data protection, built into every backup plan we manage.
Copies of Your Data
Your live data plus two independent backup copies — one failure never becomes total loss.
Different Storage Types
Backups held on separate platforms and media — so one vulnerability can't touch them all.
Off-Site & Immutable
At least one copy stored off-site and locked against changes — beyond the reach of ransomware and bad actors.
Our Proven Process
From exposed to protected in four steps.
Most clients are fully protected within the first week.
Backup Assessment
We map what data you have, where it lives, what's currently protected — and what's silently exposed.
Deploy & Protect
Veeam backup configured across M365, Azure, and devices — fully remote, with zero disruption to your team.
Define Recovery Plan
We document recovery objectives and a step-by-step DR runbook — who does what, in what order, how fast.
Monitor, Test, Report
Daily backup monitoring, regular restore tests, and monthly reports proving your data is recoverable.

FAQ
Backup & DR, answered
The questions businesses ask before getting serious about their data.
Doesn't Microsoft already back up our Microsoft 365 data?
Microsoft protects the service — keeping Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams online. Protecting your data within it is your responsibility under their shared responsibility model. Native recycle bins and retention help with recent accidents, but they have time limits, can be emptied, and offer no protection against ransomware or malicious deletion. That's why a separate, independent backup is essential — Microsoft's own documentation recommends it.
What does "immutable backup" mean and why does it matter?
Immutable means the backup copy physically cannot be altered or deleted for a set period — not by ransomware, not by a compromised admin account, not even by us. Modern ransomware specifically hunts for backups before encrypting your data; immutability is what makes that attack fail. It's the difference between negotiating with criminals and simply restoring your data.
How fast can you recover our data after an incident?
Individual items — an email, a file, a folder — are typically restored within minutes to an hour. Full mailboxes or large SharePoint sites take longer depending on size. During DR planning we define your Recovery Time Objective (how fast you need to be back) and Recovery Point Objective (how much data you can afford to lose) — then build the backup schedule to guarantee both.
Where are our backups stored?
In secure, encrypted cloud storage that's completely independent of your Microsoft tenant — so an incident in your environment can't reach them. If your business has data residency requirements (common under GDPR or for healthcare), we configure storage regions to keep backups in your required jurisdiction.
We're a small business. Is this overkill for us?
Backup is one of the few areas where small businesses face the same risks as enterprises but with less ability to absorb the damage — many never recover from major data loss. The good news: M365 backup is priced per user and costs less than a coffee per person per month. It's the cheapest insurance your business will ever buy.
What happens during an actual disaster — who do we call?
Us — and it's treated as a P1 critical incident with our fastest response. Your DR runbook (which we build together) defines exactly what happens: we assess the damage, begin restores in priority order, and keep you updated until everything is back. You're never left guessing or improvising during the worst day of your business year.
