7 Critical Reasons for Microsoft 365 Backup


The misunderstanding falls between Microsoft’s perceived responsibility and the user’s actual responsibility of protection and long-term retention of their Microsoft 365 data. The backup and recoverability that Microsoft provides and what users assume they are getting are often different. Meaning, aside from the standard precautions Microsoft 365 has in place, you may need to re-assess the level of control you have of your data and how much access you truly have to it.

Key points to understand:

  • Microsoft 365 offers geo redundancy, which is often mistaken for backup.
  • Backup involves creating a historical copy of data and storing it in another location.
  • It is crucial to have direct access to and control over your backup to ensure quick recovery in case of data loss, accidental deletion, or malicious attacks.
  • Geo redundancy protects against site or hardware failure, allowing users to remain productive and unaware of infrastructure issues during crashes or outages.
