2022 Why should you backup Microsoft 365 ?
Protect Your Data—Protect Your Business
Your business constantly creates data that fuels your operations and growth. So, who is responsible for protecting and backing it up?
Many believe Microsoft maintains all your Microsoft 365™ data. However, this is not entirely accurate. Microsoft does have retention policies on the various aspects of 365 (Email, SharePoint, OneDrive) – so that data is retained if deleted (usually for 93 days for SharePoint data).
This doesn’t guard against data being encrypted (by cyber-attack) – nor data deleted (either intentionally or maliciously) that is not noticed before the end of the retention period. Therefore, businesses using Microsoft 365 should implement a 365-specifc backup solution.
Adding this vital online backup service can help protect you from security incidents such as ransomware and business email compromise, as well as file and account deletions that exceed the default Microsoft retention policies. With Backup for Microsoft 365, we can help you recover files and accounts at any time, even if they are accidentally or maliciously deleted by an insider or external cybercriminal.
