Microsoft 365 backup with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Secure, reliable and easy-to-use Microsoft 365 protection built for MSPs. 

Why third-party Microsoft 365 backup is critical

Microsoft 365 is rapidly becoming the go-to productivity solution for many companies. More than 400 million active monthly users rely on Microsoft 365, according to Microsoft. Meanwhile, many of them still operate under a dangerous misconception that Microsoft provides full-fledged data protection for Microsoft 365. While Microsoft provides infrastructure resilience and high availability, data protection remains the customer’s responsibility. Without third-party backup, sensitive business data such as emails or shared files stored in Microsoft 365 are not protected from data loss issues. This includes Entra ID.
Regain control with Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud for Microsoft 365. It provides a secure cloud-to-cloud backup solution that helps you safeguard your Microsoft 365 data, reduce expenses and ensure business continuity.
