Microsoft 365 Keeps Your Business Moving.
SecondSky Helps You Recover It.
Independent backup for Microsoft 365 email, files, collaboration data, and historical user data—without turning backup into another IT project.
Independent recovery layer for protected Microsoft 365 business data.
Microsoft 365 resilience and an independent backup strategy solve different problems.
Microsoft operates highly resilient cloud infrastructure and provides native retention and recovery capabilities. SecondSky adds a separate backup and recovery layer for organizations that want another path to historical business data.
That matters when the problem isn’t an outage—it is deletion, ransomware or malicious activity, a former employee, a retention mistake, or a recovery request that arrives after the fact.
Accidental deletion
Recover important business data when a user discovers a deletion too late.
Ransomware & malicious deletion
Maintain an independent recovery path for protected Microsoft 365 data.
Departed employees
Preserve historical employee data without keeping a former-user license solely for retention.
Retention & recovery gaps
Reduce dependence on a single retention configuration or administrator decision.
Protect the Microsoft 365 workloads your team uses every day.
Exchange Online
Independent protection for business email and mailbox data.
OneDrive
Protection for user files and business documents stored in OneDrive.
SharePoint
Protection for collaboration content and organizational files.
Microsoft Teams
Protection for supported Teams-related Microsoft 365 collaboration data.

Questions businesses ask before adding independent backup.
Does Microsoft 365 already protect my data?
Microsoft provides resilient infrastructure plus native retention and recovery capabilities. Independent backup adds another recovery layer for organizations that want protection beyond relying only on production-platform controls.
Do I need backup hardware?
No local backup appliance is required for SecondSky’s cloud-to-cloud backup service.
What happens when an employee leaves?
Independent backup can preserve historical business data after an employee leaves, helping reduce the need to keep a former-user productivity license solely for data retention.
Can SecondSky help with recovery?
Managed Backup and Backup Assurance include SecondSky-assisted recovery. Customer access and recovery options available directly through the underlying backup platform depend on the service configuration.
Is there a setup fee?
No. SecondSky currently charges a $0 setup fee.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. SecondSky plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract. You can cancel anytime.
Microsoft 365 recovery tools and SecondSky work together.
Microsoft 365 includes valuable native recovery and retention capabilities. SecondSky adds an independent backup copy, historical recovery points, granular recovery for supported data, and optional managed recovery services.
| Capability | Native Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace tools | SecondSky independent backup |
|---|---|---|
| Recently deleted items | Yes. Recovery windows and behavior vary by workload, configuration, retention policy, and administrator settings. | Recover protected data from an independent backup copy and historical backup points. |
| Retention & eDiscovery | Microsoft Purview and Google Vault can preserve supported data for governance, legal, and compliance purposes when configured. | Backup retention is designed for operational recovery. Backup snapshots and item versions are retained indefinitely by default unless a custom retention policy is configured. |
| Independent backup copy | Native retention and recycle-bin features operate within the production cloud service and are not a separate third-party backup copy. | Yes. SecondSky adds a separate backup and recovery layer for supported cloud data. |
| Historical versions / recovery points | Available capabilities vary by workload and configured retention/versioning. | Historical backup snapshots and item versions are maintained according to the configured backup retention policy. |
| Departed-user data | Subject to the source platform’s user lifecycle, licensing, retention, and administrator configuration. | Protected resources can be archived after they leave the source environment so historical backup data can remain available for recovery. |
| Granular recovery | Native recovery capabilities vary by workload. | Granular recovery is available for supported items such as individual messages, files, folders, contacts, calendar items, and broader protected resources. |
| Operational monitoring | Your organization administers its native recovery and retention configuration. | Managed and Assurance plans add SecondSky backup monitoring and recovery assistance. |
| Recovery testing & reporting | Native tools provide platform-specific controls; recovery validation remains an operational responsibility. | Backup Assurance adds scheduled non-destructive recovery testing, a monthly Backup Assurance Report, and documented recovery-test results. |
Native recovery behavior varies by workload, licensing, retention configuration, and administrator settings. SecondSky is an additional recovery layer—not a replacement for properly configured native retention and security controls.
Your business depends on Microsoft 365. Give its data another recovery path.
