Office 365 backups and archiving services

Your run your business like it's a sports car, sleek and responsive. No bloat allowed. You embrace cloud applications to save money and, more importantly, time. By embracing technical transformations, you can devote more time to growing your business and taking care of your customers.

As a Microsoft Office 365 customer, you take full advantage of hosted email, SharePoint Online and OneDrive. This allows your employees to collaborate efficiently and be productive from any device, anywhere in the world, a feature that can't be taken for granted as remote work becomes more prevalent daily. It also can't be taken for granted, however, that the built-in backup and archiving features will keep your data safe.

Three gaps of Microsoft Office 365 backup

It's a common misconception that Microsoft is backing up the data stored in your Office 365 subscription. The exact numbers aren't clear, but Microsoft has stated that there are currently 200 million active monthly users of the 365 platform. Backing up all that data would be nearly impossible from a profitability perspective. Following are the three gaps in Microsoft Office 365 that need to be covered in order to protect your company data.

1. Human Error. Most cyber security breaches are caused by human error, like unwary employees clicking on links in a phishing email and accidental deletions. It's easy to have Microsoft 365 data deleted or corrupted, or held hostage by ransomware. This leaves a protection gap that isn't covered by Office 365.

2. Recycle bin limitation. Office 365 saves deleted emails for up to 90 days, and the recycle bin doesn't have the same security features as a SaaS backup solution. This makes it risky when system administrators use the recycle bin as a temporary data backup repository, as many do.

3. Microsoft service limitation. Section 6b of Microsoft's Service Agreement states that they do not guarantee retrieval of your stored content or data in the event of an outage, and recommend using a third-party backup solution.

Microsoft does offer geo-redundancy, which in lay terms means its datacenters are replicated across the globe. Deleted items are typically recoverable for 30 days, which doesn't consider malicious deletion, malware, ransomware or data loss due to system failure on their part. This is particularly concerning for business owners like you, who must also contend with regulatory compliance. Other concerns include no single pane of glass to restore data across the Office 365 environment.

That's why it's vital to enlist the assistance of a Microsoft Office 365 backup and archiving services provider like DirectNetworks.
