Working in “The Cloud” does not mean your data is backed up!
Common cloud misconceptions
- Myth #1: We don’t need email backup and archiving because Office 365 already does this.
Office 365 apps only back up deleted files for up to 30 days. Microsoft file sharing apps are not backed up. File sharing is built for real-time collaboration with user content, but it is not designed for data recovery in the case of user error, data corruption, or ransomware. Nor does it address archiving or a completely new set of compliance and eDiscovery challenges.
- Myth #2: Email backup and archiving are too expensive. The reality is, for just a few dollars per seat per month, firms can protect valuable data and ensure that accidental or malicious data deletion doesn’t disrupt business. Compared to what could happen to a business if their data disappears, is held hostage, or is corrupted, a few dollars a month per seat seems like a very cheap alternative.
- Myth #3: Only regulated businesses need data backup and archiving. Most businesses need backup and archiving, whether they know it or not. Although it’s true that regulated businesses like Healthcare, Financial Services and Law Firms have additional requirements regarding data backup, archiving and access, all firms should consider using some form of auxiliary backup and compliance data storage.
- Myth #4: Backup is over-hyped and doesn’t need to be a priority. Backup is never a priority, right up until the time something goes wrong. Then, it becomes the most important priority for the business. The reality is, without backup any business is at risk.
