SharePoint backup
An independent backup of your SharePoint: sites, document libraries, lists, versions and permissions. After deletion, a ransomware attack or a mistake, you recover a single file or a whole site.

SharePoint often holds a company most important documents: contracts, procedures, project records. Microsoft looks after the availability of the service, not the recovery of data that someone deleted, overwrote or encrypted. The recycle bin and version history keep data only for a limited time, and a deleted site disappears with its contents. That backup is on us.
What the SharePoint backup covers
A full, independent copy of SharePoint content and structure, from which you recover exactly what you need.
-
Sites and document libraries
Full copies of team sites and file libraries. A deleted library or a whole site come back without asking Microsoft for help.
-
Versions, metadata and permissions
The copy keeps version history, metadata and the permission structure. You restore a document as it was, not just its content without context.
-
Lists and page content
The backup also covers SharePoint lists, pages and embedded data, not just files. The whole content comes back, not a fragment.
-
Granular recovery
We restore a single file, folder, library or a whole site. You do not have to restore everything to recover one document.
-
3-2-1 rule to zones outside Microsoft
We replicate copies to independent zones, including object storage (blob) outside the Microsoft ecosystem. Three copies, two zones, at least one away from the original.
-
Immutable copies
We keep backups immutable (WORM), with their own retention. Ransomware or a deleted site neither removes the copy nor overwrites it.
Why SharePoint needs a separate backup
Microsoft shared responsibility model is simple: they guarantee the service works, you are responsible for the data in it. If someone deletes a library, overwrites a key document or ransomware encrypts a site, that is not a Microsoft failure but your problem to solve. A deleted site sits in the recycle bin only for a set time, then disappears for good along with all its content.
Version history and the recycle bin help with small slips, but they do not replace a backup. They do not reach back far enough, they do not protect against mass deletion or against an attack that also hits those mechanisms. An independent copy lives separately, with its own retention, and lets you restore SharePoint content even long after the event.
The 3-2-1 rule and copies managed in blob storage
The only copy in the same ecosystem you are protecting is a single point of failure. That is why we apply the 3-2-1 rule: at least three copies, on two independent media or in two zones, and at least one outside the Microsoft ecosystem. We manage the copies at the object storage level, that is in blobs, split across zones and cost tiers.
We keep copies immutable, in WORM mode, with their own retention period, so an attack or deletion does not remove the backup. Replication to zones outside Microsoft means an account lock, a provider side incident or a region outage does not cut you off from the data.
How we protect SharePoint
We start the copies within a few days and immediately verify that recovery actually works.
- dailyautomatic content copy
- 3-2-1copies in zones outside Microsoft
- immutablecopies resistant to deletion
- granularrestore a file or a whole site
- Choosing the copy scope. We agree which sites and libraries we cover and how long we keep the data. The scope is matched to needs and requirements.
- Launch and first copy. We connect the backup to SharePoint and run the first full copies, without interfering with the team day to day work.
- Recovery test. We check a trial restore of a site and of single files before it is needed for real. A backup without a test is only an assumption.
- Monitoring and restoring. We watch whether the copies run and recover data at your request. A failed backup is an alert, not silence.
Model rozliczeń
We bill the SharePoint backup as a fee depending on the amount of protected data and the number of sites. The cost is predictable, and data recovery is not charged extra.
Included
- Daily copies of sites, libraries and lists
- Version, metadata and permission preservation
- 3-2-1 copies in zones outside Microsoft
- Immutable copies (WORM) with their own retention
- Data recovery on request and a status report
Beyond the plan
- Extended copy retention period
- Very large data volumes
- Migration or restore to another environment
We can run it on its own or as part of a wider Microsoft 365 backup.
Frequently asked questions
If SharePoint is in the Microsoft cloud, why a separate backup?
Microsoft guarantees the service works, but responsibility for the data lies with the customer. A deleted library, an overwritten document or an encrypted site are not a Microsoft failure but your problem. The recycle bin and version history keep data only for a limited time, and a deleted site disappears with its contents. An independent backup removes that risk.
Does the copy keep permissions and versions?
Yes. We restore not only files but also version history, metadata and the permission structure, so content comes back in the state it was in, not as loose documents without context.
Can I recover one document without restoring the whole site?
Yes. Recovery is granular: we restore a single file, folder, library or a whole site, depending on need. There is no need to touch the rest of the environment.
Is this a separate service or part of the Microsoft 365 backup?
Both. We can run the SharePoint backup on its own, when you mostly care about documents, or as part of a wider Microsoft 365 backup that also covers mail and Teams. We match the scope to what you actually want to protect.
