Microsoft 365 is one of today’s leading email and collaboration platforms for small and midsize businesses. Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive – many companies’ entire business lives in these programs. Layered Systems has partnered with Datto, a leader in backup solutions, to offer Microsoft 365 Backup to protect businesses’ cloud data.
While Microsoft 365 products like Teams and OneDrive have improved collaboration and file sharing between employees, the data in these programs is not automatically backed up by Microsoft. While Microsoft guarantees they will not lose your data, they do not guarantee against anything you might do to your data. This means data loss can be a common occurrence, even if the main cause is user error – though these products, in addition to email, are also frequent targets of cybercriminals. Because of this, a third-party backup solution is key to protecting this cloud data.
Microsoft 365 Backup from Datto SaaS Protection helps safeguard against cloud data loss in the event of user error, ransomware, phishing, or malicious actions by employees or hackers. Automatic, continuous backups provide business continuity no matter the situation.
Microsoft’s archiving options are not the optimal solution when it comes to maintaining data from former employees, Teams, SharePoint sites, and more. For example, user deletion leads to data deletion in most cases. With Microsoft 365 Backup, former employees and data can be neatly archived and restored at will, keeping the active M365 tenant clean. This is also important for businesses who require retention for legal purposes. Retention itself can be customized and tailored to each business’s needs.
With Microsoft 365 Backup, we’re able to protect our clients’ cloud data and ensure that they can rely on the cloud and the Microsoft products that use it. If your business is using Microsoft 365 but not backing up that data, Contact Us today to learn how we can help.
