Secure Cloud · uBackup
Stay productive in Microsoft. Keep an independent European recovery copy of your data.
uBackup protects your Microsoft 365 data, your Windows and Mac devices and even your custom applications in a separately managed European environment, with demonstrable restores and one Dutch point of contact.
Productivity
Microsoft 365
Mail, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Entra ID: this is where work happens and where you manage your users.
Managed in your own Microsoft tenant
Recovery and data control
uBackup
A separately managed recovery copy in Europe, with tested restores.
European infrastructure in Germany, managed by Universal.Cloud
Microsoft for productivity. uBackup for independent recoverability and control over your data.
You do not have to leave Microsoft to become less dependent. With uBackup your workspace and your recovery copy sit with different providers, each with its own administration.
The portal
See at a glance whether your backup is healthy
For each workload you see when the last backup succeeded, how much is protected and whether anything needs attention.
Why an independent backup
A backup proves its value when something goes wrong. That is why uBackup focuses on three things.
Recoverability and continuity
A deleted mailbox, a departed employee or a ransomware attack: you restore what you need, from a single email to a complete site.
A recovery copy outside your Microsoft environment
uBackup runs on a different infrastructure provider with its own administration. Your recovery copy stays reachable if something happens to your tenant or your admin accounts.
European storage and governance
Your data is stored in German data centres and managed within the ISO 27001 certified management system of Universal.Cloud. You know where your data is and who can access it.
What you back up
More than Microsoft 365
Your data does not live only in Microsoft 365. With uBackup you also keep a recovery copy of your devices and your custom applications, in the same European environment and with the same point of contact.
Microsoft 365
Mail, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Entra ID. From a single email to a complete site, you restore what you need.
Windows and Mac devices
Backup of laptops and desktops running Windows or macOS. A stolen or broken laptop no longer means lost files.
Custom applications
Data from custom or line-of-business applications also gets a recovery copy in the same European environment. In the assessment we work out together what is needed.
How you switch
Your current backup keeps running until uBackup demonstrably works. You switch only after your approval.

Frequently asked questions
Does uBackup replace Microsoft 365?+
No. You keep working in Microsoft 365. uBackup keeps a recovery copy of your data in a separately managed environment, so you can restore after a mistake, an attack or an incident.
Can I keep working if Microsoft 365 is unavailable?+
Mail, Teams and SharePoint remain Microsoft services. uBackup keeps your data safe and reachable in a separate environment, so you can recover as soon as you need to.
Is uBackup ISO 27001 certified?+
Universal.Cloud has an ISO 27001 certified information security management system. uBackup is developed and managed within it. We assess the infrastructure provider separately.
Where is my backup data stored?+
In data centres in Germany, with a European infrastructure provider. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. In the assessment you receive the full overview of locations and subprocessors.
Which parts of Microsoft 365 does uBackup protect?+
In the assessment you receive the current feature matrix: per workload what we back up, how often, how long we retain it and at what level you can restore.
Can I also back up devices and custom applications with uBackup?+
Yes. Besides Microsoft 365, uBackup also backs up Windows and Mac devices and data from custom or line-of-business applications. Everything goes into the same separately managed European environment. In the assessment we determine per system what we back up and how often.
