Microsoft 365 backup with Dropsuite

Dropsuite backs up and archives your data in Microsoft 365. We set up and run the solution for you. Dropsuite has two products with different purposes, and it's worth knowing the difference.

Backup: get back what was lost

Backup protects against data loss: accidental deletion, ransomware or human error. This is what gets backed up:

  • Email, folders, calendars and contacts in Exchange.
  • Files in OneDrive and document libraries in SharePoint.
  • Messages and channels in Teams.

Here's how to restore something that was deleted:

  1. Sign in to the Dropsuite portal. We give you access.
  2. Choose what you want to restore: an email, file, contact or calendar entry.
  3. Browse the history and find the version you need.
  4. Click Restore. The data goes straight back into Microsoft 365 without touching anything else.

Archive is about long-term retention and compliance, not recovery. Archived email can be neither changed nor deleted, and it stays searchable far back in time. Typically used for disputes, GDPR documentation, audits, and to keep the email history when an employee leaves and their account is deleted.
