Backup Office 365 - Complete data protection for your cloud environment
Why do you need a backup solution for Office 365?
When businesses move their email, documents and collaboration tools to the cloud, it's easy to assume that Microsoft will handle all the backup for you. In reality, Microsoft only offers basic protection and retention rules, not a full-fledged backup solution. Microsoft is responsible for operational security, while you as a customer are responsible for being able to recover deleted, damaged or manipulated data. That's why backup for Office 365 is not an option, but a necessary part of a modern IT strategy.
Limitations of Microsoft's own features
Office 365 has some built-in protections, but these are far from sufficient. Deleted emails or files can be recovered for a limited period, but these features are not enough in case of corrupted mailboxes, ransomware attacks or deliberate deletion. Microsoft's focus is on availability - not recovery.
Without an external backup solution, you risk losing:
- Historical versions of files
- Entire mailboxes
- Team communication
- SharePoint library
- OneDrive structures
- Important items accidentally or deliberately deleted
Microsoft's own backups are only used internally for large disaster events and are not intended for the recovery needs of individual customers.
The risks of not having a backup on Office 365
If you don't use a professional Office 365 backup service, you're left unprotected when the unexpected happens. A corrupted mailbox, incorrect sync, a virus or a wrong user action can lead to permanent data loss.
In today's digital workplace, your content is business-critical - that's why Office 365 backup must be an integral part of your IT operations.
