Common challenges businesses face that cloud backup & archiving addresses.

Microsoft Doesn't Back Up

Many businesses assume Microsoft backs up their data. They don't—you're responsible for your own data protection.

Accidental Deletion

Users delete emails, files, or entire folders by mistake. Without backup, recovery options are limited.

Compliance Requirements

Legal holds, eDiscovery, and retention requirements need proper archiving solutions.

Ex-Employee Data

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cloud backup & archiving

Does Microsoft 365 automatically back up my data?

Microsoft provides data resilience but limited backup and recovery. Deleted emails are only recoverable for a limited period. We recommend third-party backup for comprehensive protection and long-term retention.

What is the difference between backup and archiving?

Backup creates recoverable copies of data for disaster recovery. Archiving preserves data long-term for compliance, legal holds, or historical reference. Both serve different purposes and may be required.

How long should we retain email and files?

Retention periods depend on industry regulations and business needs. Legal, healthcare, and financial services often have specific requirements. We help determine appropriate retention policies for your situation.
