Simple, automated and secure backup of your cloud data
Protection for O365 ensures that your business can access, control, and most importantly protect the data that you entrust to the cloud. Protection for O365 is the leading cloud-to-cloud backup product offering an all-in-one backup, restore and export solution that covers Exchange Online, OneDrive and SharePoint Online.
As companies increasingly move data into cloud-based applications, many IT teams wrongly assume that Microsoft has a backup in place. After all, O365 is always available, accessible from anywhere, and highly redundant, so why is a backup needed?
An astonishing 1 in 3 businesses report losing data stored in cloud-based applications. In addition, out of all MSP reported SaaS ransomware attacks, 49% occurred in O365, up 17% from last year. Not only can the loss of the data itself be devastating to a company, but the time lost in attempting a recovery can be equally damaging.
The truth is that even data in cloud-based applications is vulnerable to:
End-user deletion, whether accidental or malicious
Malware damage or ransomware attacks
Operational errors such as accidental data overwrites
Lost data due to canceled user licenses
Misconfigured application workflows
With more and more businesses moving into O365 to run their productivity applications, like Word, Excel and Email, these risks are impossible to ignore.
Why Office 365 Backup is Insufficient
While O365 does include primitive restore capabilities for lost data, two major issues arise when using their tools: lost data and lost time. An independent data backup separated from the app itself is necessary to avoid the most common data loss pitfalls.
Data loss due to inactive licenses: As one would expect, an active O365 license is required to access data. Unfortunately, inactive or deprovisioned user data is permanently deleted, and there is no rollback option.
Data loss due to permanent deletion: When a SharePoint Online administrator deletes a site collection, all data will be placed in the Recycle Bin where it is kept for 93 days. At that time it is automatically and permanently deleted, and there is no rollback option.
Data loss due to ransomware: Microsoft recommends 3rd party backup as the only way to recover from data loss associated with ransomware encryption.
Data loss due to app outages: Uptime guarantees provide peace of mind…until an app outage occur. Planning for the unexcepted is key to recovering quickly should an outage occur.
Time lost in restoring files: Contacting Microsoft Support for assistance with any data loss issue can be time consuming, and still may not result in restored files.
Why Protection for Office 365? Trusted, Available Backup
