Backing up Your Microsoft 365 Data
Though Microsoft 365 provides built-in data protection, it does not fully cover all scenarios. There are several common reasons that your institution should consider implementing strong backups, including:
- Accidental deletion: If a user or administrator accidentally deletes a folder with critical documents in it, are you able to retrieve it? Having a supplemental backup in place helps prevent these issues and saves you a headache down the line.
- Retention gaps: Microsoft retains email data for active users, but what if you need critical information from a former employee’s inbox? Backups ensure you don’t have to worry about coordinating mailbox sharing—you’ll have access to critical data when an employee leaves.
- Insider threats: While rare, employees maliciously deleting necessary files could happen. A secondary data backup prevents the permanent loss of data.
- External threats: From breached credentials to ransomware, your institution faces of variety of external threats. Strong backups protect your data from cybercriminals who regularly target users of cloud services.
- Legal and compliance reasons: Backing up Microsoft 365 data is currently a regulatory recommendation for financial institutions, but could become a requirement.
Having an independent backup solution ensures that your critical data is always protected and recoverable, minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.
