Why Managed Backup as a Service?

Enterprise-grade data protection for every workload — without the cost, complexity, or staffing of building it yourself.

Immutable & Ransomware-Proof

Native immutable backups keep your data safe and ransomware out — recovery points can't be encrypted, altered, or deleted, even with stolen admin credentials.

Every Workload Covered

Cloud, virtual, and physical workloads — plus Microsoft 365, AWS, and Azure — all protected under one fully managed service.

Instant Recovery

Restore files, VMs, NAS, databases, and entire applications in seconds — not hours — with 45+ ways to recover Microsoft 365 alone.

Predictable OpEx

A fully managed monthly subscription with zero ingress or egress fees — no surprise hardware, storage, or transfer costs.

Microsoft Won't Restore Your Lost Data

Under Microsoft's shared-responsibility model, it's your data — you control it, and it's your responsibility to protect it. Retention-policy gaps, accidental deletion, departing employees, and ransomware can erase Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data permanently. IT Vortex backs it all up with immutable storage and 45+ granular ways to restore.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does IT Vortex Backup as a Service work?
+

We run an enterprise Veeam platform in our managed cloud and back up your workloads to immutable, offsite storage on a 3-2-1-1-0 model — fully monitored and operated by our team. You get enterprise-grade protection and fast recovery without buying, patching, or staffing backup infrastructure yourself.

What can you back up?
+

Cloud, virtual (VMware, Hyper-V), and physical servers, workstations and NAS, plus SaaS data including Microsoft 365 — Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — and native AWS and Azure workloads. It's all protected under one managed service.

Are the backups immutable and ransomware-proof?
+

Yes. Backups are written to immutable, often air-gapped storage, so recovery points can't be encrypted, altered, or deleted — even by an attacker who has obtained admin credentials. That's what lets you recover cleanly instead of paying a ransom.

Do you back up Microsoft 365?
+

Yes. Microsoft operates a shared-responsibility model — your Microsoft 365 data is your responsibility to protect. We back up Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams with 45+ granular ways to restore and support for legal eDiscovery.

How quickly can I recover?
+

Most files, mailboxes, and VMs restore in seconds to minutes via instant recovery. Full-environment recovery objectives are defined with you up front and validated by automated, scheduled restore testing so there are no surprises.

Are there any data transfer or egress fees?
+

No. IT Vortex charges zero ingress or egress fees. Back up, restore, and run recovery tests with no hidden transfer costs — your monthly price is predictable.

How does managed backup support compliance?
+

Policy-driven retention, AES-256 encryption, automated verification, and audit-ready reporting support HIPAA, financial, legal, and cyber-insurance requirements. We provide documented proof that your data is protected and recoverable.

How is this different from your DRaaS?
+

Backup protects your data — point-in-time recovery, long-term retention, and ransomware immutability. DRaaS protects your operations — near-instant failover of running workloads after an outage. Many clients run both, and we can manage them together for complete data and operational resilience.
