Backing up your Cloud Solution
Backing up your cloud products, including Microsoft 365, is crucial for ensuring data integrity and continuity.
- Users may accidentally delete important emails, files, or entire folders. Without a backup, recovery can be challenging or impossible.
- Software issues or synchronisation problems can corrupt data, rendering it unusable without a backup.
- Ransomware and other cyber threats can compromise your data. Backups ensure you can recover your information without paying a ransom.
- Many industries require businesses to maintain data backups to comply with regulations and legal obligations.
- Hardware failures, service outages, or natural disasters can disrupt access to your cloud data. A backup provides a safeguard against such events.
Microsoft 365 offers a range of services including Exchange Online (email), SharePoint Online (collaboration), and OneDrive for Business (file storage). While Microsoft provides robust infrastructure and some level of data protection, it’s important to understand the limitations and gaps:
- Microsoft 365 retention policies may not be sufficient for long-term data preservation or specific compliance needs.
- Deleted items in Microsoft 365 are only recoverable for a limited time, typically 30 to 90 days, depending on the service and settings.
- Data loss due to user errors is not covered by Microsoft’s default data retention and recovery features.
- If you use third-party apps or services integrated with Microsoft 365, data from these apps may not be automatically backed up.
