Keepit for Microsoft 365
Vendor-Independent, Immutable Backup for Your Entire Microsoft 365 Environment
Microsoft's shared responsibility model is clear: your organisation owns the data, and Microsoft owns the infrastructure. If a user accidentally deletes a SharePoint site, a disgruntled employee wipes their mailbox, or ransomware encrypts your tenant — Microsoft is not coming to save you. Native recycle bins and retention policies are limited, conditional, and absolutely not a substitute for proper backup.
Keepit for Microsoft 365 runs on its own proprietary, vendor-independent cloud infrastructure — completely outside of Microsoft's environment. That is the critical difference. If your Microsoft 365 tenant is compromised, Keepit's backups remain untouched because they physically cannot be reached from your Microsoft environment. The underlying storage uses a blockchain-verified Merkle tree structure, making every backup immutable from the moment it lands. There are no snapshot expiration windows, no storage caps, and no egress fees.
For administrators, the platform delivers genuinely fast recovery. Granular smart search lets you find a single email, an entire OneDrive folder, or a full Teams channel and restore it directly back to its original location — maintaining file hierarchies, metadata, and permissions. Point-in-time recovery, cross-user restores, and PST downloads are all standard. Mass restores handle thousands of items without choking.

This is where Keepit leaves Veeam for Microsoft 365, Acronis, and Druva in the dust. Veeam M365 still relies on you provisioning your own storage — typically Azure Blob or AWS S3 — which means your backups sit on the same hyperscaler infrastructure as the data you are trying to protect. If Azure has a bad day, your backups go down with it. Acronis and Druva have the same shared-fate problem because they run on public cloud underneath. Keepit is the only major player operating entirely on its own proprietary infrastructure, which means genuine air-gapping from Microsoft. Add flat-rate pricing with no hidden storage or egress costs, and the total cost of ownership is dramatically lower at scale. For Australian organisations serious about data sovereignty and ransomware resilience, this is the backup architecture that actually delivers on the promise.
