Your business data — accounts, customer records, emails, documents — is irreplaceable. Yet backups are the thing most often neglected until it is too late.
What a good backup looks like
It is automatic, off-site or in the cloud, covers your Microsoft 365 data too, and — crucially — is tested regularly so you know it will actually restore.
Why cloud sync is not enough
OneDrive and similar services sync changes everywhere, so a deleted or ransomware-encrypted file is lost on every device. A proper backup keeps recoverable history, separate from the live data.
Key points
- Automatic, off-site and regularly tested
- Covers Microsoft 365 data, not just devices
- Cloud sync alone is not a backup
- Protects against ransomware and mistakes
