Case Study
Backup and Recovery Modernization for a Multi-Site Human Services Nonprofit
Client identity withheld for confidentiality.
We put an independent backup system in place for Microsoft 365 data. It uses on-site backup and encrypted off-site copies so the organization can recover.
The Situation
- Microsoft 365 data had no independent backup protection
- Recovery for lost mail or files was not defined
- No documented backup and restore procedure
What we Did
We designed a backup architecture built for Microsoft 365 data.
Set up a dedicated backup system for Microsoft 365 data
Kept on-site backup infrastructure for fast local recovery
Added encrypted off-site copies for disaster recovery
Documented the backup and restore process for staff
Before and After
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| No independent Microsoft 365 backup protection | Independent backup and recovery architecture |
| No off-site copy of critical data | Encrypted off-site replication for disaster recovery |
| Recovery steps not defined | Documented restore procedure |
The Outcome
- Independent, recoverable copies of Microsoft 365 data
- On-site and off-site backups running together
- Clear recovery path if data is lost or corrupted
- Documented steps leadership can review
