Office 365 and SharePoint Online Cloud Backup

SharePoint, Office 365 and Teams

Office 365 is a fantastic product, it is straightforward to setup and means you can easily obtain your online exchange/mailboxes, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint to store and manage your files and documentation and related workflows. Obviously there is much more that can be done under the Office 365 suite including Dynamics 365 with full integration to SharePoint and your online exchange out of the box.

There are occasions though where there is a need for third party tools to enhance this experience and further protect your business.

Does Office 365 handle data backups for you?

Microsoft takes care of quite a lot for companies it manages their Office 365 infrastructure and maintains up-time for their users. However, it does not back up their data.

Office 365 and SharePoint do have some protection built in against accidental deletion of files, or specific folders in SharePoint and holding deleted users in office 365 for 30 days. But it doesn't have a full option to backup your SharePoint data and mailboxes, and manage the retention of that data.

If data is deleted or becomes corrupt due to a breach, it is going to be hard to retrieve everything easily, if at all.

Office 365 backup should therefore be a critical part of every company’s disaster recovery plan.

Avoiding corrupt data through a breach is obviously a priority, and setting up 2 Factor Authentication along with other security measures is a priority. However protecting against user error, or data loss if it were to happen requires a backup solution to ensure your data is always available. This is straightforward to put in place using a Cloud to Cloud Backup Solution.
