Main Line Managed is a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider: the repositories, the jobs, the immutable copies, and the restores are ours to operate — not a white label on someone else's cloud. This page is the build underneath the service: Microsoft 365 first, every copy accounted for, and a daily run you can watch move. Plans, coverage levels, and terms live at backup & dr.
Microsoft 365 hosts your mail, files, and Teams — but under Microsoft's shared-responsibility model, protecting that data is the customer's job, not Microsoft's. A deleted mailbox, a departed employee, a purge past the retention window: once it's gone from the tenant, Microsoft has nothing to hand back.
Daily backup of the tenant to storage we control, held on our retention schedule — independent of anything that happens inside Microsoft 365 itself.
We provision and manage Microsoft 365 licensing as well as protect the data — one provider for the tenant and its backup. Servers, virtual machines, and NAS shares join the same package below.
The rail follows you down. Each piece lights as you reach it — by the bottom, you've built the whole package.
Backup is a time machine for the business. A server dies, a laptop walks out the door, a file gets deleted, ransomware locks everything — you go back to a point before it happened and get the files back. Two questions decide the whole design: how much recent work you can afford to lose, and how fast you need to be working again.
RPO is how far back the time machine reaches — the most recent work you could lose. RTO is how long until you're working again. Drag the recovery point tighter and watch what it costs the machine:
Tighter recovery points mean more job runs, more restore points on disk, and more work for the systems being protected. The step from daily to twice daily looks cheap on the dials — the real cost is that the second job runs during working hours, touching live systems while people use them. That's why the standard build is one job per day, overnight; anything tighter is scoped deliberately. And continuous data protection is a different, heavier machine, not a setting you flip on.
Everything below follows one standard: 3-2-1-1-0. Five numbers, five rules — here is the whole recipe up front, then we build it piece by piece.
The working copy: hardened, locked-down storage we run, and the first place a restore pulls from. When someone deletes the wrong folder at 2 PM, this is what has it back before 2:15.
Independent, on a different system — kept apart so one failure can't take both. If the first copy's hardware dies, or the first copy is what got hit, the second one doesn't care.
Outside your walls entirely. Fire, flood, theft, a building you can't get into — none of it touches a copy that was never in the building.
Written once, then locked for its retention window — it cannot be altered or deleted. Not by ransomware, not by a stolen admin password, not by us. Modern attacks go for the backups first; this is the copy they can't touch.
Zero errors, checked — every job monitored daily, restores tested on a schedule. A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan. You see the proof in reporting, not in a promise.
The package above isn't a project you watch — it runs on schedule, end to end:
You're starting on our default build — the shape most firms end up with. Try a profile that sounds like you, or tune any dial by hand.
Everything on this page runs on Veeam — the platform behind the agents, the hypervisor-level jobs, the Microsoft 365 backup, and the immutable copies. We operate it as a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider; you never touch a console.
Fifteen minutes to walk your workloads, your recovery objectives, and what a managed, immutable build would look like for your firm — Microsoft 365 included.
