Disaster Recovery Service Provider, Comport, Shares 5 Excellent Reasons Why Businesses Should Back Up Office 365
RAMSEY, N.J., April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- What would you do if your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files were suddenly lost? For most businesses, the loss of information from these and other key Office 365 components would be a true emergency. From accessing critical customer information to maintaining information for compliance and being able to collaborate with colleagues and customers, if your organization relies on Office 365 it is absolutely essential to perform regular backups.
Your Office 365 files may not be as secure - or backed up - as you think. Disaster recovery service provider Comport, recommends performing regular backups of Office 365 for the following reasons:
-- The onboard, native backup is not as robust as you think it is. While
Office 365 does have built in automatic backup possibilities, they
simply are not as detailed or efficient as performing your own backup.
Knowing this in advance allows you to take other steps to protect your
most important data and files.
-- Your time to restore deleted or old data is limited. Office 365 has some
built-in limitations that may result in the loss of important data or
files. If a file lingers in your recycle bin for too long, it will be
permanently deleted (right now that deletion timeline is set to default
to one year). If an employee leaves your organization, all of their data
is automatically deleted at the one-year point as well. If those files
and details end up being important or needed later, without a backup,
you are out of luck.
-- User error. Even your best, most loyal employees make mistakes, and if
something is accidentally deleted or corrupted, you want your backup to
be able to restore your data. Phishing and ransomware attempts are
becoming commonplace, and a well-intentioned employee could easily lose
files and disrupt your business, simply because they fell for a
sophisticated scam.
-- Backups are fast and easy to perform. It is fast and easy to back up
your files to the cloud, without spending money on external hardware or
extra devices. When you opt for cloud backup, you can always recover
your data and get up and running again in a hurry.
-- Increased and ongoing treat risk. Ransomware and other malware threats
are on the rise; a single attack could render your systems useless. A
backup and disaster recovery strategy allows you to swiftly get back
into operating order and ensures your business can continue to operate,
even if you are facing an extreme threat.
