Protecting Microsoft 365 data

Regular backups of Microsoft 365 data provide an additional layer of protection from user errors and intentional malicious actions. You can recover deleted items from a backup even after the Microsoft 365 retention period expires. Also, you can keep a local copy of Exchange Online mailboxes if it is required for regulatory compliance.

You can back up Microsoft 365 data by using the following solutions that are provided by Cyber Protect Cloud:

Microsoft 365 Business – Backup
Direct Backup to Microsoft 365 Backup Storage
Agent for Office 365 (locally installed agent)

For more information about these solutions, see Comparison of backup solutions for Microsoft 365 data.

Actions with cloud-to-cloud resources, such as viewing the content of backed-up emails, downloading attachments or files, recovering emails to non-original mailboxes, or sending them as emails might violate user privacy. These actions are logged in Monitoring > Audit log in the Management Portal.
