Why Organizations need to take the backup of Office 365

As we are aware nowadays everyone is moving to cloud and office 365 Email and Apps are one of the fast-moving technologies. We are using backup solutions for infrastructure which help to protect your data from accidental deletion or any corruption or any attack. When we move to Cloud, we must think about the protection of data especially important e-mails, documents, etc.

The question is: Your office 365 data has proper protection?

Of course, we can say it secure, but it does not have proper protection, there are many reasons and that is why we need backup solutions to protect your office 365.

These are some points one must keep in mind.

• Human error is one of the major reasons for data loss

Example, shared environment supported by Office 365 which makes it vulnerable to accidental data deletion, a single document is editable for multiple users.

• Short Retention & Data Restoration

Data is not always recoverable after the expiry of the retention period which legally effects the trust of many organizations that SaaS provider can restore the lost data at ease. Office 365 data retention policies are not appropriate since there are limitations involved with deleted items, recoverable items, and legal holds. End-users are required to configure multiple policies and settings, that result in a conflict with corporate retention. Example, if you accidentally delete an email, OneDrive file, or SharePoint item. Office 365 has places where it stores deleted items that allow you to get it back for a set period.

• The abstract below is taken from the Microsoft Services Agreement Service Availability.

• Office 365 has the option to keep your multiple versions (500 versions) of data, but in that case, you have allocated more storage and the cost involved is huge.
• Another challenge is about archiving. If emails are archived in your archive folders, it’s very hard to find old emails. Also, you cannot search across your entire account; you must search within each archive folder. In such a case, a backup solution like Altaro Office 365 will help to take backup and long-term-retention which allows you to easily search across your entire account.

A backup tool like Altaro Office 365 backup, helps to take the backup of office 365 and allows you to easily find and restore as many files as you need, or even restore an entire user or folder to a point in time.
