The Challenge
A North Texas business contacted NerdsToGo McKinney after a former employee deleted critical files from the company’s SharePoint environment before leaving the organization.
The deleted information included business records the team relied on for day-to-day operations. Without a separate backup in place, the company could have faced lost productivity, missing records, and significant time rebuilding what had been deleted.
The Solution
Because NerdsToGo McKinney was already managing the company’s Microsoft 365 backup environment, the deleted SharePoint data was protected outside of the live Microsoft 365 environment.
Our team identified the missing files, located the protected backup copies, and restored the data back to the client.
There was no need to recreate the files manually or accept permanent data loss.
The Result
The company was able to recover its critical business data and continue operating without a major disruption.
The incident also reinforced an important lesson:
Microsoft 365 is a powerful productivity platform, but businesses should still have an independent backup and recovery strategy for SharePoint, OneDrive, and email.
Accidental deletion, employee mistakes, malicious actions, ransomware, and retention issues can all put business data at risk.
