Dispelling Common Myths about Online Backup of Microsoft 365

Office 365 Backup – How We Can Help You Protect Your Microsoft 365® Data

Who Safeguards Your Data?

Your business is constantly producing data you need for operations and growth. So who is responsible for protecting and backing it up?

Microsoft 365 business data

Myth #1:

Microsoft Backs Up All My Data

Your business uses Microsoft 365 apps to do business, so Microsoft protects all your data, right?

Unfortunately, no. Microsoft focuses on delivering critical services your business uses.

Microsoft does not protect you against permanent deletion of files or accounts, whether accidental or intentional.

Myth #2:

Your Managed Services Provider Can Recover Anything

We can help you recover from backup challenges like these, right?

  • 1. You need to recover permanently deleted files at any time.
  • 2. You need to recover soft-deleted files after 90 days.
  • 3. You need to recover departed employees’ accounts after 30 days.
  • 4. You need to restore maliciously deleted email accounts or files.
  • 5. Ransomware attack freezes your access to your data.
  • 6. A hacker is controlling your Outlook® accounts and sending emails in your employees’ names.

We cannot help you recover these files and accounts unless you have Backup for Microsoft 365.

Myth #3:

My Employees Always Do the Right Thing

I know my employees. They wouldn’t try to hurt my business, would they? While most data loss is accidental, employees can delete data to sabotage companies—especially if they have an axe to grind, such as having been demoted or terminated.
