Office 365 Backup

Microsoft Backups
Microsoft doesn’t back up your Office 365 application data. Just because it’s “in the cloud” doesn’t mean that it is safe from accidental deletion, malicious attacks, or file corruption. Office 365 data is replicated, but any change to a file is immediately synchronized across all other copies. People feel safe because of the Microsoft retention policies, but in reality most organizations have regulatory and compliance requirements that are not satisfied by a 30-90 day recycle bin.
Let’s take a look at the Microsoft 365 Retention Policy details, then look at what Microsoft’s service agreement recommends.
Microsoft 365 Retention Policies
74% of businesses do not protect their Office 365 data according to 451 Research.
The Microsoft Services Agreement states:
“Microsoft is not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve Your Content or Data that you’ve stored. We recommend that you regularly backup Your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.”
