Why Microsoft 365 Backup is Essential for Your Business

Did you know an alarming 85% of organizations using Microsoft 365 suffered email data breaches?

With data breaches becoming more frequent and cyberattacks more sophisticated, relying solely on Microsoft's native data retention policies puts your business at significant risk. Microsoft 365 backup is essential because it provides the necessary safeguards to recover from data loss scenarios caused by these threats, as well as accidental deletion or other issues.
A comprehensive data protection solution, including robust backup and recovery, alongside cybersecurity and endpoint protection management, ensures your business can maintain continuity and avoid costly downtime.
Embedded thumbnail for backing up your files
  • With more than 400 million active monthly users, Microsoft 365 is the go-to productivity solution for many organizations.
  • Without third-party backup, sensitive business data is at risk from data loss (e.g., accidental deletions and malware attacks).
  • Microsoft reported 1,220 new common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), while attacks against Teams continue to rise.

Back up your Microsoft 365 data with Acronis

Microsoft 365 provides robust services for business collaboration, yet Microsoft does not take responsibility for customer data. In fact, Microsoft recommends that users regularly back up content and data using third-party services. You share some responsibility.

Yet without third-party backup, sensitive business data such as emails or shared files stored in Microsoft 365 are not protected from the most common or most serious data loss issues.

Anti-malware scans of Microsoft 365 backups

Acronis performs heuristics-based anti-malware scanning on Microsoft 365 backup archives to identify and remove malware from them.

This prevents a potential scenario in which malware could infect a resource in Microsoft Exchange or a Microsoft 365 application, be replicated to backup archives, and be reintroduced into the production Microsoft 365 environment when the infected resource is restored during recovery. This native integration of data protection and cybersecurity eliminates malware instances in Microsoft 365 backups before they can reinfect live systems.
