Switch Backup

According to Microsoft’s shared responsibility model, customers are responsible for backing up their own Microsoft 365 data. Switch Backup M365 helps you take control of this responsibility with a reliable backup designed around your organisation’s needs.

Your data can be retained beyond M365 recycle bins and restored with granular, point-in-time recovery when needed. The backup also covers Teams settings, configurations and memberships, helping you recover more than just individual files. At the same time, it helps minimise risks from malicious intent and external attacks and supports the documentation of compliance with legal regulations and guidelines.

With Switch Backup M365, you stay in control of your data and are prepared when recovery matters.

Choose your retention period: With the Custom Retention Period (CRP), you decide how long your M365 backup data is stored. You can set an individual retention period for each storage bucket, starting from the date of the backup.
Switch recommends a retention period of up to five years, with a maximum of ten years. Long retention periods may result in additional costs in the event of Switch changing its provider, as existing backups may need to remain on the previous system until their retention period ends.

Choose what to protect: Switch Backup M365 offers a flexible solution that can be tailored to your institution's needs. You can choose to back up M365 data for staff, students or both, depending on your organisation's requirements. Backup services can be implemented independently for MS Teams, OneDrive, Sharepoint and Exchange.
