Microsoft 365 backup is often overlooked because many think the cloud is automatically backed up. In this article, I will explain why you need Microsoft 365 backup and how to implement it.
Microsoft provides service availability, not backup of your data. Microsoft 365 backup is your responsibility.
Why Backup Microsoft 365?
- Accidental deletion – Recycle Bin has limits
- Ransomware – OneDrive sync can synchronize encrypted files
- Employee departure – License deactivates, data gets deleted
- Compliance – Regulations require long-term archiving
