Microsoft 365 Recovery Best Practices
Veeam News, Monday, September 18,2023
The fact that organizations need to backup their Microsoft 365 deployments has been well established. Microsoft is based on a shared responsibility model in which Microsoft is responsible for protecting the underlying infrastructure, and subscribers are responsible for protecting their own data.
This means that if you use Microsoft 365, you have to back up your own data. In their Services Agreement, Microsoft makes it very clear on the delineation around customer data, 'We don't claim ownership of Your Content. Your Content remains Your Content, and you are responsible for it.'
As important as backups might be, however, there is one critical item that seems to get left out of the conversation and that is recoverability. Recoverability isn't always quite as straightforward as we might like it to be, so in this blog post, we share some key considerations when choosing a third-party product to restore and recover Microsoft 365 data. For a more in-depth take on this topic, it can be found in the Conversational Microsoft 365 Recovery Best Practices E-Book.
