Why Utilise Mitol's Office 365 Backup solutions?
As more businesses move to the cloud, adoption of Office365 Exchange Online, Sharepoint Online and OneDrive is surging. However, running business on
cloud services also comes with a whole new set of concerns and challenges. Clients concern is still the risk of data loss caused by human errors and
hacker intrusion. Mitol PerfectBackup now offers a backup solution which 100% secures all your Microsoft 365 cloud data.
Deployment of our Office 365 backup solution is easy and flexible. To backup all data within an Office 365 domain, simply create a backup client user on
the latest version of our management console with Office 365 module enabled. Then, you can create an Office 365 backup set via our portal (agent-less backup).
After a few steps of configuration, such as selecting the Office 365 items for backup and setting up the backup schedule, the selected data will be automatically
backed up from the Microsoft data centres to ours. If required local backups can also be configured.
More and more businesses are moving from an in-house infrastructure to a cloud environment and the leading solution for small to medium business is Microsoft
Office365. Whilst the adoption of cloud computing is fast becoming the norm, running your business via cloud services like Exchange also creates a new set
challenges. Data loss due to hardware failure is greatly reduced however, the risk of email loss caused by human error and hacker intrusion is still common place.
Some consider these risks realistic and some may never care, but we all must understand the importance of protecting cloud data. Consider the fact
that email communications with clients and suppliers contain important information which may threaten continuity of business should it be lost. This
is why we consider having a regular and secure backup of all email data by a reputable 3rd party provider to be essential.
Microsoft does offer a basic inbuilt backup solution for Office 365 but many consider this to be lacking in reliability and functionality for businesses to rely on.
Retention policies and recovery capabilities do not meet the requirements of most businesses. Mitol PerfectBackup protects your businesses Office 365 mailbox data,
creating a point in time backup and securely transferring directly from your office 365 cloud to our three geo-dispersed data centres. Once we have your backup you
are able to restore from any required set point in time at granular email level or mailbox level.
Please remember, staff regularly delete data by mistake and unfortunately sometimes intentionally. Putting this in to context, nearly 75% of data loss events are due
to human error and statistically nearly one third of UK businesses will experience data loss. We cannot state how the loss of email data will impact your business or
what the consequences will be, but we can eradicate this potential issue starting at £1.00 per month.
Backup or Archive?
Two processes which are often confused are backup and archiving. Other than the fact both processes take a copy of email data, which may or may not be used at some point,
there the confusion should end as backup and archive solutions are used for completely different purposes.
Regardless of where stored, a backup is essentially a point in time copy of your important data which is securely stored but always available should data be lost. The
only reason to take a backup is so you know you can restore should the worst happen. Backups are a dynamic process as your data changes so does your backups. Archives are
a different matter as they lock the whole of your data which need to be stored in the same state for long periods of time. This data is not used on a day by day basis but
it may need to be drawn upon at a later date. Often archived data is moved away from existing storage infrastructure as it will never be needed immediately.
A backup is simply a copy of the current and active information stored on your servers. When a backup copy of your data is created, the original
files are not affected and still reside in the same location. While an archive is also a copy of your data, the archiving process relocates the
data from your business’s primary storage location and moving it on to less expensive and more long-term storage locations.
If a business loses data the ability to restore data is paramount, and the ability to restore from a time which is as close to the time of data loss is also an important
factor. As such backups are usually incremental or continuous this ensuring data can be protected as quickly and as often as possible. Usually the reason for accessing
archived data is not as time sensitive so 48 hours to view the archive is sometimes not unacceptable.
In summary, archiving is used by business which need store data for a long or indefinite period to comply with vertical and or geographical regulations,
for example solicitors or financial consultants. Backups are taken to ensure your data and business is safeguarded against human error, hardware error
or any disaster in general. Data backup and data archiving as solutions are complimentary and should be used together.
In short NO! Microsoft provide a 365 environment. They provide the infrastructure in which you work but the data you store there is
yours and your responsibility. For example, SharePoint has a 14 day retention/recycle bin and can be expanded with pricier versions but
this data is easy to delete and is not considered a long enough period. Many of our clients have a backup retention policy lasting
months so can recover email or SharePoint data from any point in time.
It’s your business and your choice. But if a disgruntled member of staff purges your data there is no way to recover. When your data was
stored on a server in your office what was your backup and restore policy then? Just because you store your data in the cloud should you
reduce your backup responsibilities?
