Microsoft Azure Backup

The strategic technology partner for scalable organisational growth.
Why partner with us

Partnering with Zenzero gives you specialist backup and recovery expertise without the cost of maintaining a dedicated in-house resilience team.

Our Azure specialists design backup policies around your critical workloads, retention requirements and business recovery objectives, protecting data across Azure, hybrid and on-premises environments.

We also monitor backup health and test recovery procedures regularly, giving you evidence that your systems can be restored quickly when failure, deletion or cyberattack occurs.

Recovery planning and protection

Build your Azure backup service around real business priorities

Zenzero starts by identifying which systems and data are most important, how much information your organisation can afford to lose and how quickly each service must be restored. We use these requirements to define appropriate Recovery Point Objectives, Recovery Time Objectives, backup schedules and retention policies.

Our specialists configure Azure Backup for virtual machines, databases, file shares, storage and hybrid workloads. We also design Recovery Services vaults and Backup vaults with appropriate access controls, encryption, storage redundancy and protection against accidental or malicious deletion.

Resilient and recoverable systems

Benefits of Microsoft Azure Backup

Microsoft Azure Backup provides a central platform for protecting workloads across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments. Automated policies, recovery points and central reporting reduce the operational effort involved in managing separate backup tools and processes.

Security features such as encryption, soft delete, immutable vaults and controlled administrative access help protect recovery data if production systems or user credentials are compromised. Flexible retention and storage redundancy options also allow protection to reflect operational, compliance and long-term archive requirements.

Confidence when recovery matters

Protect your organisation with backups that are tested, not assumed.

A successful backup job does not automatically prove that your systems can be restored. Zenzero performs practical recovery testing to validate restore points, document recovery steps and identify weaknesses before an incident occurs.

We combine secure backup configuration with monitoring, alerting and clear ownership. This gives your organisation stronger resilience and greater confidence that essential data and services can be recovered when the unexpected happens.

Backup and recovery challenges

Common data protection challenges we help with.

Backups are running but never tested

Organisations may assume their data is protected because backup jobs appear successful. We perform regular restore testing to confirm that recovery points are usable and that documented recovery processes work within agreed business timescales.

Recovery requirements are unclear

Applying the same schedule to every workload can result in unnecessary cost or inadequate protection. We define Recovery Point and Recovery Time Objectives based on business impact, ensuring critical services receive the right level of protection.

Backup data is vulnerable to attack

If attackers can access or delete recovery data, backups may offer little protection during a ransomware incident. We configure encryption, soft delete, immutable vaults, multifactor authentication and tightly controlled administrative permissions.

Backup failures go unnoticed

Failed jobs, missed recovery points and unprotected workloads can create hidden gaps in resilience. We use Azure monitoring, alerts and reporting to identify issues quickly and ensure responsibility for resolving them is clear.

Questions we
often get asked:

What is Microsoft Azure Backup?

Microsoft Azure Backup is a cloud-based service for protecting data and workloads across Azure, hybrid and supported on-premises environments. It provides automated policies, secure recovery points, central monitoring and flexible retention.

What are RPO and RTO?

Recovery Point Objective defines how much recent data your organisation can afford to lose. Recovery Time Objective defines how quickly a system must be operational again. Zenzero designs backup and recovery processes around these business requirements.

How do we know our Azure backups work?

Backups should be validated through regular restore testing. Zenzero tests recovery points and documents the restoration process, providing evidence that data and systems can be recovered when required.

Can Azure Backup support ransomware recovery?

Yes. Azure Backup includes controls such as encryption, soft delete, immutable vault protection and restricted administrative access. These should be combined with monitoring, secure identity controls and tested recovery procedures.

What workloads can Microsoft Azure Backup protect?

Azure Backup can protect supported workloads including Azure virtual machines, Azure Files, databases, storage data, Kubernetes environments and on-premises Windows systems. Zenzero assesses each workload and recommends the appropriate protection and retention model.
