A New Approach to Backup: Secure Cloud Backup for Businesses

Written by Gaye Celebi | 06.08.2025

«Available» does not mean «backed up.» Many companies believe that Microsoft 365 automatically ensures complete data backup, but that’s only partly true. Exchange Online retains deleted content for 30 days, and SharePoint for 93 days. After that , it’s gone regardless of whether an error occurred or an attack took place. And what about Planner, Entra ID, or Power Platform? They aren’t backed up natively at all. For companies with compliance requirements or valuable business data, this is a risky gap.

Why backup is no longer a minor issue.

Your teams work daily in Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, or Planner. Data is generated everywhere: business-critical, sensitive, and time-sensitive. But who ensures that this data can still be recovered months or years later? The Epic Backup Service was developed precisely for this purpose: It fully protects your Microsoft 365 data independent of Microsoft itself. And it gives you the choice: where the data is stored, how long it’s retained, and what you want to restore.

Backup on your terms—not Microsoft’s limits.

What can you back up?

  • Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Planner

  • Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)

  • Power Platform (as an add-on)

  • Granular recovery of individual files, emails, or folders

  • Retention periods, backup schedules, storage location: all flexible

Checklist: Are your Microsoft 365 data protected well enough?

Microsoft 365 backup retention ends after just 93 days. What happens next?

What makes the Epic Backup Service special.

Many solutions back up data «somewhere in the cloud» —but often no one knows exactly where. Epic Backup gives you full control: You can choose between certified Swiss data centers, your own infrastructure, or third-party providers like Azure or AWS. Plus: The service is «Managed and operated by Epic Fusion»  so you don’t have to worry about the backup yourself; instead, you get a secure system that just works.

A backup that adapts to your business.

Are you an SME? A colleague accidentally deletes project files and it isn’t noticed until months later? No problem, you can restore exactly what’s missing. No full restore required.

Do you work in a corporate environment? Do you need audit-proof backups, flexible storage locations, and DSG/GDPR compliance? No problem—Epic Backup is compliance-ready.

Flexible, scalable, future-proof.

Whether you have 10, 100, or 10,000 employees — Epic Backup grows with you. The licensing models are modular; you only pay for what you actually use. And if your requirements change? The backup solution simply adapts — without switching systems.

Getting started—here’s how it works.

  1. Identify your needs – you tell us what you need.

  2. Implementation – we get it up and running quickly and smoothly.

  3. Support & Training – You’ll get exactly the information you need. No information overload.
