Microsoft keeps client data after deleting it, but this backup has a limited duration of time. If you don't have a specific external backup strategy, there are generally two scenarios:
- Active deletion : The client has an active subscription and a user or administrator deletes data, or the administrators delete a user.
- Passive deletion : The client subscription is ending.
According to these scenarios, the data retention period varies from 30 to 180 days.
Why opt for Microsoft 365 backup for IT professionals?
There are several reasons why IT professionals should opt for Microsoft 365 backup :
- Protection against data loss or deletion : Microsoft 365 does not guarantee complete protection against data loss. Regular backups provide additional protection in the event of accidental deletion, file corruption, or natural disasters.
- Back up Microsoft 365 data in France : data sovereignty in the cloud is an issue for IT professionals. This determines their ability to protect their data from possible foreign interference and allows them to act independently. Also, compliance with European regulations is important, it limits the possibilities of personal data transfers outside France and constitutes a guarantee of data sovereignty.
- Meeting compliance standards : Businesses must meet numerous regulations and compliance standards when it comes to data management.
- Preventing permanent deletion : even when files are deleted from the trash can, they can be recovered from backups. This can be especially important for businesses that need to keep data for an extended period of time.
- Reduced data recovery costs : Without regular backup, data recovery can be expensive and time-consuming. Microsoft 365 backups can reduce costs and the time needed to recover data.
- Sharepoint, Outlook, and Teams flexible backup and recovery : IT professionals must have choices when it comes to backing up Microsoft 365 data. They can decide to back up only Outlook data, Teams data, or all of it.
