Independent, immutable backup of every SharePoint site and OneDrive library, so a deleted folder, a sync error or a compromised account never means lost documents.
Team sites, communication sites and OneDrive libraries are all backed up, not just the ones someone remembered to include.
Backups capture document versions, permissions and metadata, not just the latest file content, so a restore genuinely reflects what was there.
Backup jobs are checked every day, so a failed sync to any site or library is caught quickly rather than discovered during a restore.
SharePoint and OneDrive have become the default place UK businesses store contracts, project files, HR documents and client records — often without anyone deliberately deciding it should be that way. That makes SharePoint one of the most business-critical platforms a company runs, yet Microsoft's version history and recycle bin are designed for recovering a recently deleted file, not for restoring an entire site or document library after ransomware, a sync error, or a permissions change wipes out access to it.
SharePoint backup services close that gap with an independent, scheduled copy of every site and library, stored separately from the Microsoft 365 tenant and immutable against later tampering. We deliver SharePoint backup as part of our wider SaaS backup service for UK businesses, covering team sites, communication sites, OneDrive and the document libraries within them.
Pricing is typically per user or per site collection protected, so a business with a handful of sites isn't paying enterprise-scale fees, and new sites can be added to backup coverage as your SharePoint environment grows.
SharePoint environments have a habit of growing organically — a project team spins up a new site, a department creates a document library, and a year later nobody has a full picture of how many sites actually exist or which ones hold genuinely important content. That makes a proper audit the essential first step of any SharePoint backup deployment, rather than simply backing up whatever sites happen to be visible from the admin centre's default view.
We also pay attention to how SharePoint is actually used day to day, not just how it's structured. A site with heavy external sharing enabled, for example, carries a different risk profile to an internal-only team site, and retention needs can vary between a live project site and an archive of completed work. Backup that treats every site identically tends to either over-protect low-value content at unnecessary cost, or under-protect the sites that genuinely matter.
Version history is genuinely useful for recovering an earlier draft of a document someone's overwritten by mistake. It's far less useful when an entire site has been deleted, when ransomware synced through OneDrive has encrypted thousands of files at once, or when a permissions misconfiguration has effectively locked everyone out of a document library. Recovering from those scenarios usually needs a backup that's independent of the site structure itself.
Ransomware that encrypts files on a synced local device can propagate up into SharePoint and OneDrive before anyone notices. Independent backup means a clean, pre-incident copy of every affected file and folder is recoverable, rather than relying on version history that may only go back a limited number of revisions.
A deleted SharePoint site sits in a recycle bin for a limited retention period before it's permanently removed. If nobody notices in time, or the deletion was deliberate and the recycle bin was also cleared, that content is gone unless it's independently backed up elsewhere.
A document restored without its original permissions, version history or metadata isn't fully restored — it's just the latest file content. We back up permissions and metadata alongside file content, so a restore genuinely reflects the state of the site before the incident.
Some SharePoint environments hold years of accumulated documents across dozens of sites. We design backup and restore processes so a large-scale recovery can prioritise the most business-critical libraries first, rather than an all-or-nothing restore that leaves everyone waiting. That distinction matters most in exactly the moment it's needed — during a genuine incident, being able to bring a finance team's working documents back online within the hour, while a rarely used archive site restores overnight, keeps the business running rather than stalled on a single, undifferentiated recovery queue.
The core protection built into every SharePoint backup deployment.
We identify every team site, communication site and OneDrive library across your tenant, so nothing is left unprotected because nobody thought to list it.
Restores bring back permissions and metadata alongside file content, so a recovered library is genuinely usable, not just a folder of loose files.
From mapping your sites to a monitored, independent backup regime — our process is straightforward.
We identify every SharePoint site collection and OneDrive library across your tenant.
Independent backup is set up for each site, capturing permissions and metadata alongside file content.
We test a sample restore of files and folders before considering coverage complete.
Backup jobs are monitored daily across every site, with failures investigated and fixed.
We treat SharePoint as the document management system it's actually become for most UK businesses, not just a file share with a web interface.
Every site and library is mapped and included, with permissions and metadata backed up alongside content, so a restore is genuinely usable rather than a folder of loose files stripped of context.
Backup is independent of the tenant itself, so your documents remain recoverable even if ransomware, a compromised account, or a permissions error affects the live environment.
SharePoint backup sits alongside our wider SaaS backup services and email backup, so your whole Microsoft 365 environment is protected consistently.
We price transparently, per user or per site collection protected, agreed before any work begins. As new sites and libraries are created across your organisation, we periodically re-check coverage, so backup keeps pace with how SharePoint is actually being used rather than reflecting a snapshot taken on day one.
We treat SharePoint as core business infrastructure, protected accordingly.
Site backups exist separately, recoverable even if the live environment is affected.
Team sites, communication sites and OneDrive all included from the outset.
Restores are genuinely usable, not stripped-down file dumps.
Every site is checked daily, not configured once and left alone.
The same engineers who manage your SharePoint environment also manage your backup.
Restores can prioritise the most critical documents first during a large-scale recovery.
Documentation ready to answer insurer and client due diligence questions about document backup.
New team sites and libraries are added to backup coverage as your environment grows.
A clear per-user or per-site quote — no vague ongoing costs.
SharePoint backup is one layer of protection, not the whole strategy. It works best alongside email backup, endpoint backup for the devices your team syncs files on, and EDR endpoint protection to reduce the chance of ransomware reaching your synced files in the first place. We look at SharePoint backup as one part of your wider SaaS backup services, so protection is joined up across your whole Microsoft 365 environment.
SharePoint has quietly become the primary document management system for many UK SMEs, often without a deliberate migration project — files simply started living there as Microsoft 365 adoption grew. That makes it easy to underestimate how much genuinely irreplaceable business information now sits in team sites and OneDrive libraries, and how thin native version history is as the only line of defence.
What to check before choosing a provider: whether backup covers every site collection, whether permissions and metadata are preserved, and whether restores can prioritise critical libraries during a large-scale recovery.
Who this suits: businesses using SharePoint or OneDrive as their primary document store, businesses that have experienced ransomware spreading through synced files, and any business preparing for a cyber insurance renewal that now asks about document backup specifically.
Common mistakes we see: businesses that rely on version history alone, businesses that back up email but overlook SharePoint entirely, and businesses that only discover a gap after a site has already been deleted past its recycle bin retention. Each of these turns an assumption of safety into an actual gap in coverage.
How we deliver it: remote-first for businesses across the UK, configuring and monitoring SharePoint backup wherever your Microsoft 365 tenant is based.

Independent, scheduled backup of SharePoint sites and OneDrive libraries, copied out of your Microsoft 365 tenant into separate, immutable storage, so documents are recoverable even if the live environment is affected.
Version history helps with recovering an earlier draft of one file. It's not designed for restoring an entire site, recovering from ransomware that's encrypted many files at once, or recovering a site deleted past its recycle bin retention.
Yes, OneDrive is included alongside team sites and communication sites as part of the same backup service.
Both. Restores bring back permissions and metadata alongside file content, so a recovered library is genuinely usable rather than a folder of loose files.
If backup was already in place, the site and its content remain recoverable from before the deletion, regardless of whether the recycle bin retention has lapsed.
Pricing is typically per user or per site collection protected. We provide a clear, itemised quote once we understand your SharePoint environment.
Yes, restores are granular — a single file, folder, library or entire site can be restored independently.
Most SharePoint backup deployments are configured and monitored within one to two weeks, depending on the number of sites involved.
