Microsoft 365 Backup Email Backup OneDrive Backup SharePoint Backup Ransomware Recovery

Backup is not just a checkbox.

Small businesses often assume their cloud data is automatically protected. The real question is whether email, files, folders, shared drives, and business-critical data can actually be recovered when something goes wrong.

Know what is backed up

Review whether Microsoft 365, email, OneDrive, SharePoint, cloud files, and business documents are actually protected.

Know what can be restored

Check whether deleted, overwritten, corrupted, or encrypted files can be recovered when your business needs them.

Know how long recovery takes

Understand downtime tolerance, recovery time goals, and the order in which business-critical data should be restored.

Email Backup

Review backup and recovery options for Exchange Online, shared mailboxes, deleted emails, mailbox recovery, and retention gaps.

1D

OneDrive Backup

Plan recovery for OneDrive files that are deleted, overwritten, corrupted, synced incorrectly, or affected by ransomware.

SP

SharePoint Backup

Review backup coverage for SharePoint sites, document libraries, project folders, Teams files, and shared business data.

Business File Recovery

Support recovery planning for important business files stored across cloud folders, workstations, servers, and shared platforms.

🛡

BC

Business Continuity

Create clear next steps for downtime, restore priorities, disaster recovery planning, and keeping the business operating.

A practical recovery plan before something goes wrong.

CypherSway helps small businesses move from “we think we have backups” to a clearer recovery plan.

1

Find the data

Identify where important data lives: email, OneDrive, SharePoint, devices, servers, and cloud apps.

2

Check coverage

Review what is protected, what is missing, how often backups run, and how long data is retained.

3

Test recovery

Confirm whether important files, emails, folders, and cloud data can actually be restored.

4

Build continuity

Document what to restore first, who to contact, and how to reduce downtime during an incident.

Common backup problems we help fix.

Most backup problems are discovered after files are deleted, accounts are compromised, or ransomware hits. These are the gaps we look for before that happens.

No Microsoft 365 backupEmail, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams files may not be recoverable the way you expect.
No restore testingBackups exist, but nobody has confirmed whether recovery actually works.
Unclear data locationsFiles are spread across laptops, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, desktops, and email attachments.
Ransomware recovery riskThe business does not know what would happen if files were encrypted or locked.
Retention confusionRetention is mistaken for backup, and older files may not be recoverable.
No continuity planNo clear process exists for who to contact, what to restore first, or how to keep working.

Start with a backup and continuity assessment.

Before recommending a backup solution, CypherSway reviews your Microsoft 365 setup, email, OneDrive, SharePoint, shared files, business-critical data, recovery process, and downtime risk.

What the review helps clarify
  • What data is protected
  • What backup gaps exist
  • Whether recovery has been tested
  • What should be restored first
  • What backup plan fits your business
