Scenario: Microsoft 365 Outage – What’s Your Backup Plan?

Imagine this: Microsoft 365 experiences a major outage lasting 24 to 48 hours. Your business relies heavily on OneDrive for file storage and collaboration. While some files are synced locally via the OneDrive client, many critical documents remain accessible only in the cloud—and now, they’re unreachable.

This kind of disruption isn’t just inconvenient—it can be costly. In today’s fast-paced environment, even a few hours of downtime can result in lost productivity, missed deadlines, and financial losses ranging from hundreds to thousands of pounds. Recent outages on platforms like AWS and Microsoft Azure have shown that no system is immune.

Approach: Ensuring Business Continuity During Cloud Downtime

So what can you do when your cloud-based data is temporarily out of reach?

1. Assess Local Sync Status
   Check which files are available locally via the OneDrive client. These can be worked on immediately.
2. Identify Critical Cloud-Only Files
   Determine which essential files are stored only in the cloud and prioritise them for recovery or offline access.
3. Implement a Physical Backup Strategy
   What if you had a secure, offline copy of your data that could be accessed and worked on during outages?

That’s where Computer Recall Secure Data Backup by Bricknalls PC Services comes in. This solution provides a physical backup of your OneDrive data, allowing you to:

3. • Contact us and come and collect a copy of the required data, allowing you to work offline during cloud outages
   • Continue working without disruption
   • Re-sync and upload changes once Microsoft 365 is back online

In an era where digital continuity is critical, having a reliable backup strategy isn’t just smart—it’s essential. With Computer Recall, you gain peace of mind knowing your data is always within reach, even when the cloud isn’t.
