Managed backup · set up in minutes

- Nightly snapshots, 22:00 to 06:00
- Restore in place or export
- Archive mailboxes included
30-day free trial·from $2.00 per seat / month, ex tax·cancel anytime
The copy equals the original.
Who backs up your Microsoft 365 data? Not Microsoft.
Microsoft runs the service: the datacentres, the uptime, the platform. Protecting the content inside it is your side of the shared responsibility model. Their own customer agreement says so:
Microsoft answers for
- Keeping the service online
- Datacentre and platform failures
- The infrastructure your tenant sits on
You answer for
- Everything inside your mailboxes and sites
- Deletions: accidental, departing staff, malicious
- Ransomware that reaches synced files
- Getting it all back, when it happens
“We recommend that you regularly backup Your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.”Source: Microsoft Services Agreement, §6b
The recycle bin
Permanently deleted mail is kept 14 days by default, 30 at most. Work or school files in the recycle bin are gone after 93 days. Then it’s unrecoverable.
Retention policies
A retention policy decides when data may be deleted. It governs expiry; it cannot rebuild a mailbox, and a mis-set policy is itself a way to lose everything at once.
Litigation hold
A legal instrument that freezes content for evidence. It preserves; it doesn’t restore. You can’t rebuild Monday morning’s inbox from a hold.
Geo-redundancy
Protects Microsoft’s platform from a regional disaster. It does nothing when the deletion comes from inside your own tenant, which is the far more common case.
- Deleted by mistake
- Emptied by a departing employee
- Encrypted by ransomware
- Wiped by a compromised admin
- Noticed six months too late
Three steps. Then it’s just handled.
No appliance, no agent on every laptop, no migration. You grant access, choose what matters, and Parity Backup keeps a complete, encrypted copy in Amsterdam (EU) from then on.
Consent
Connect your tenant with a standard application consent. You see exactly which permissions are requested, you grant them as your own admin, and you can revoke them at any time.
Choose
Pick what to protect: whole mailboxes and their archives, files, sites. You pay only for the seats you actually protect, and you can change the selection whenever you like.
Done
Backups run automatically from then on, every night inside a 22:00 to 06:00 window. Every snapshot is encrypted, deduplicated and content-addressed, so history is tamper-evident. Restore to the original location, to another location, or download an export.
No standing access for anyone else. The copy lives in Amsterdam (EU), in a bucket of your own, encrypted at rest and in transit.
Built by the people who’d get the 3 a.m. call.
Parity Backup was written by a managed service provider to protect its own clients’ tenants first, including the archive mailboxes other tools quietly skip.
Managed, end to end
Nothing to install, nothing to host. Connect your tenant with admin consent, choose what to protect, and the first snapshot runs. We operate the infrastructure.
In-Place Archives included
Archive mailboxes are backed up and restorable, not skipped. Many tools are built on an API surface that cannot reach archives at all, and won’t tell you that.
Versioned history
Every backup is a point-in-time snapshot in content-addressed, deduplicated storage, encrypted at rest and in transit. A changed byte is a different object, so history is tamper-evident, and unchanged data is stored once, so deep history is cheap.
Monthly. Cancel anytime.
Per-seat billing with no annual lock-in. Pay only for the seats you protect; change the count whenever you like.
No standing third-party access
Your backups don’t share a vendor’s multi-tenant pool. Each customer has a storage bucket of its own at Wasabi, encrypted with a key of its own, in Amsterdam (EU) by default or another region on request, and no third party holds standing access to it.
Plain scope, in writing
What’s covered is covered properly. What isn’t, and what no vendor can do, is stated plainly, right here on the site. See the coverage list below.
Security, stated precisely.
Backup buyers check the security behind a vendor. Here is exactly what stands behind Parity Backup: where your data lives, how it is held, and who can reach it.
Certified EU facilities
Your backups are stored by Wasabi in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (EU), in a bucket of your own with an encryption key of your own. The service itself and the backup index run on Hetzner infrastructure in Finland, whose datacentre parks, including Helsinki, are certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022: Hetzner certification. Your data’s landlord holds the certificates.
If your own policy or your regulator needs your backups somewhere else, we can store them in another region or with another provider you name, at additional cost. Ask us for a quote.
Encrypted and tamper-evident
Every snapshot is encrypted at rest and in transit, content-addressed and deduplicated: a changed byte is a different object, and stored objects are versioned, so a deletion leaves a recoverable marker rather than a hole. Write-once object lock is not switched on today, so this is tamper-evident rather than tamper-proof. Access to your tenant comes from your own admin consent, revocable by you at any time. No third party holds standing access to your backups.
No standing access
Nobody at Parity Backup keeps a key to your data. Access to your tenant is the admin consent you grant and revoke, and there is no back door: our support team can only reach your account through a secure access code, used for support and nothing else. The company holds Cyber Essentials, the UK government-backed security certification.
What Parity protects, and what it doesn’t.
Backup buyers deserve the whole sentence, not the marketing half of it.
Backed up and restorable
- Covered:Exchange Online mailboxes: primary, shared and Microsoft 365 GroupMail, calendar, contacts and tasks, in every folder, and the Recoverable Items folders that hold what was deleted out of Deleted Items.
- Covered:In-Place Archive mailboxesThe archive is included, not skipped. Restorable like any other mailbox.
- Covered:OneDrive files and folders
- Covered:SharePoint document librariesIncluding system libraries such as Site Assets, where group notebooks live.
- Covered:Microsoft 365 Groups team sites
- Covered:SharePoint lists, pages, site metadata and permissionsPermissions are captured for the site and for every library, folder, file and item that has its own. List items are restored in place and come back whole on every plan, keeping their original author, dates and attachments, and Compliance adds their version history. Pages are recreated through Microsoft Graph, authored by our service account.
- Covered:Entra ID users, groups, roles, devices, policies and tenant configurationCaptured every night and exportable as evidence of who held what. Export, not a rebuild: Microsoft never returns app secrets or certificate private keys, so those cannot be recovered from any backup, and a user recreated after Microsoft’s own 30-day window is a new object with a new GUID.
- Covered:Teams channel and chat messagesWith their inline images. Chats restore into the original chat; channel conversations export as readable transcripts. Files shared in Teams live in SharePoint and OneDrive and are covered there.
Said out loud
- Not covered:Bookings, Forms, Loop workspaces and Viva Engage
- Not covered:Mailbox settings, Teams tabs and meeting transcriptsInbox rules and similar settings, Teams tabs and app settings, and meeting transcripts are not captured. Meeting recordings are, because they are files in OneDrive.
- Not covered:Public Folders
- Not covered:Planner
- Not covered:Write-once storage locksSnapshots are versioned and content-addressed, so a change or a deletion is evident and recoverable. We do not currently apply a storage-level object lock, so treat this as tamper-evident rather than tamper-proof.
