Cloud Backup & Restore

Name: Cloud Backup & Restore
Brand: ECOSIRE
SKU: d365bc-cloud-backup-restore

Key Features

Scheduled automated backups via a Business Central Job Queue entry — hourly, daily, or a custom cron-style cadence you choose

Per-company, per-table, or full-tenant backup scope, configured on an in-app Backup Setup page (page extension)

Point-in-time restore: pick a timestamped snapshot and restore a company, table set, or specific records, with a dry-run preview before any write

Export to your own Azure Blob Storage container — or an alternate target you control — so backup data stays on infrastructure you own

Encryption at rest using AES-256, with key handling configured to your compliance requirements

Backup Log page with run history, row counts, durations, and success/failure status for audit

Dedicated permission set so only authorized IT admins can configure, trigger, or restore

Built on the BC platform data services and AL streams — no UI scraping, no unsupported direct SQL on online tenants

Configurable retention policy (keep N snapshots / N days) with automatic pruning of expired blobs

Failure alerting via email or a Business Central notification when a scheduled run errors or is skipped

Optional restore-to-sandbox so admins can validate a snapshot in a copy environment before touching production

Installed as a per-tenant extension and verified end-to-end (a real backup-then-restore cycle) with your team before handover

About this Product

Microsoft's standard Business Central online retention gives you a short window of system-managed backups and a support-ticket restore path — fine for disaster recovery, but not for the granular, customer-controlled, retain-it-where-I-choose protection IT admins actually need. Cloud Backup & Restore closes that gap.

This is a build-to-order AL extension that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (online or on-prem), and supports thereafter. It is not an instant AppSource download — we scope it to your companies, tables, and storage account, then deploy and verify it with you.

The extension registers a recurring Job Queue entry that serializes selected tables (per company, per table, or full-tenant scope) and streams them — encrypted at rest — to your own Azure Blob Storage container (or an alternate target you control), so your backup data never leaves infrastructure you own. Each run is timestamped to enable point-in-time restore: an admin selects a snapshot and restores a company, a table set, or specific records into the live or a sandbox environment, with a dry-run preview before any write.

We expose the controls as proper page extensions inside Business Central — a Backup Setup page, a Backup Log with run history and row counts, and a Restore action wizard — all governed by a dedicated permission set so only authorized admins can trigger or restore. Backups are emitted over the BC platform's data services; nothing relies on screen scraping.

Because it is built to order, you get exactly the scope, schedule, retention policy, encryption key handling, and storage target your compliance team requires — and a named ECOSIRE engineer to maintain it across BC update waves.

What you get

A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app), version-pinned to your BC platform and installed in your environment

Backup Setup, Backup Log, and Restore wizard page extensions plus a dedicated admin permission set

Job Queue entry configured to your chosen schedule and scope, validated on your tenant

Azure Blob Storage target wired to a container you own, with encryption-at-rest configured

A verified end-to-end backup-then-restore cycle run with your team before handover

Admin runbook documenting setup, restore procedure, retention policy, and recovery steps

Who this is for

Business Central IT Administrator

Owns the BC tenant and is accountable for data protection beyond Microsoft's default retention. Wants scheduled backups in their own Azure storage and a fast, self-service point-in-time restore — without filing a Microsoft support ticket and waiting.

Compliance / Data Governance Officer

Needs backup data retained on infrastructure the company controls, encrypted at rest, with an auditable log of every run. Cares that restore is permission-gated and that retention matches the firm's policy.

ERP / Finance Operations Manager

Lives in the consequences of a bad data import or accidental mass-delete. Wants the ability to roll a single company or table back to yesterday — or to validate a restore in a sandbox first — without a multi-day recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cloud Backup & Restore

Is this an instant AppSource download?

No. Cloud Backup & Restore is built to order. ECOSIRE designs the extension to your companies, tables, schedule, and storage target, then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment and verifies a full backup-then-restore cycle with you. You are buying a built-and-installed, supported solution — not a self-serve marketplace app.

How long does delivery take after I order?

Typical lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff, depending on scope (number of companies, tables, custom retention or encryption requirements, and online vs on-prem). We start with a short scoping call to confirm your Azure Blob target and schedule, build and test against a sandbox, then deploy to production with you. We give you a firm date after scoping — no surprises.

What about ongoing support and BC update waves?

Every build includes a support window, and we offer ongoing maintenance so the extension stays compatible across Microsoft's BC update waves. Because it is a per-tenant extension we control, a named ECOSIRE engineer re-validates it against each major platform update and ships any required fixes. We do not leave you to maintain AL code you didn't write.

Where exactly is my backup data stored, and is it encrypted?

In an Azure Blob Storage container that you own — or another target you control. Backup data does not land on ECOSIRE infrastructure. Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256, and key handling is configured to match your compliance requirements during scoping.

Can I restore a single company or just specific records instead of everything?

Yes. Scope is configurable per company and per table. Point-in-time restore lets an admin pick a timestamped snapshot and restore a whole company, a table set, or specific records — with a dry-run preview before any write, and an optional restore-to-sandbox so you can validate the snapshot before touching production.
