Backup after a Microsoft 365 migration - protection against data loss
Even in the Microsoft 365 cloud environment, data can be lost due to user errors, malicious activities or other unforeseen events. Regular backups are therefore useful as an additional security measure to effectively prevent data loss.
Protection against ransomware and malware
Ransomware and malware attacks can endanger your data in Microsoft 365. That's why a backup outside the cloud offers you an additional level of security. This allows you to restore your data in the event of an attack.
Troubleshooting and rollback option
In the event of configuration errors or problems after the Microsoft 365 migration, the backups created beforehand enable you as an administrator to easily rectify errors and roll back to a previous stable state without losing any data.
Data backup for specific compliance requirements
For administrators in certain industries and organisations, it may be necessary to keep backups of their data in separate, secure storage locations as part of a Microsoft 365 migration in order to meet specific compliance requirements.
Long-term archiving and legal requirements
In some cases, data must be stored for a longer period of time in order to fulfil legal requirements. Backups can serve as an archiving solution to fulfil these requirements.
Protection against internal threats
Internal company threats, regardless of whether they were accidentally or deliberately caused by employees, can lead to data loss. Backups provide additional protection against this type of threat.
Undoing unwanted changes
Sometimes unwanted changes are made to data, settings or configurations. Such changes can be undone with a backup and the integrity of the data can be preserved.
Independence from Microsoft 365 system failures
The Microsoft 365 environment itself is considered to be very reliable. Nevertheless, system failures cannot be ruled out 100%. Perform backups on external servers or in other cloud services to provide additional protection against such potential failures.
