Cloud-to-Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace

Microsoft and Google don't fully back up your data — they protect their infrastructure. Datapath uses AFI (Afi.ai) to give you true point-in-time, granular backup and recovery for every M365 and Google Workspace tenant.

The Backup Microsoft and Google Assume Someone Else Will Do

Both Microsoft and Google operate under a shared-responsibility model: they keep the platform running; you keep your data recoverable. AFI fills that gap with automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and granular restore down to a single email or file.

Datapath operates AFI for clients across healthcare, K-12, and financial services — including the recovery drills, audit reporting, and immediate restores when ransomware or accidental deletion strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doesn't Microsoft already back up M365? +

Microsoft replicates data for service availability and offers limited retention for accidental deletion, but they don't provide long-term backup or full restore from ransomware. AFI does.

How fast can we restore? +

Single items restore in seconds. Full mailbox or large SharePoint site restores typically complete within hours, depending on size — Datapath manages the operation end-to-end.

Where is the backup data stored? +

AFI uses independent cloud storage (AWS, Azure, or GCP regions of your choosing) with encryption at rest and in transit. Datapath helps select the region that fits your data residency requirements.
