Cloud-to-cloud backup for Microsoft 365 & Teams

Cloud-to-Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 & Teams

If your organization uses Microsoft 365, you might think that there is no risk of your data ever being lost. After all, Microsoft 365 is a widely used platform that’s backed by Microsoft and has a guaranteed 99.9% uptime. However, there are important reasons to copy your data to a separate vault that resides within your area of control.

Why back up your Microsoft 365 data?

Compliance
Many industry regulations impose strict document and email retention requirements which Microsoft 365 does not accommodate by default. Moreover, if your Microsoft 365 subscription is cancelled, all your data is automatically deleted after 90 days – which violates several industry policies.

Liability
If your data is lost, Microsoft’s liability is limited to $5,000 or your last 12 months of subscription fees – but your level of risk and liability is virtually unlimited. Backing up your data to a separate cloud environment mitigates this risk.

Audit Rights
Microsoft 365 provides you with no audit rights – preventing you from showing the physical location where your data is stored if required in an audit. Maintaining a backup copy in a secure and auditable location may be an acceptable solution.

Vendor Lock-in
Maintaining a backup copy of your Microsoft 365 data makes it much easier to consider migrating to another vendor’s office productivity service.
