The Critical Importance of Backups: Protecting Your Infrastructure and Microsoft 365 Data

 

Why Backups Are Your Business's Last Line of Defense

 

In today's digital landscape, data loss can happen in an instant - through ransomware attacks, accidental deletions, hardware failures, or even malicious insiders. Without proper backups, your organization risks:

 

    ✔ Permanent data loss (emails, documents, customer records)
    ✔ Extended downtime costing thousands per hour
    ✔ Regulatory non-compliance fines (especially under laws like Law 25)
    ✔ Reputational damage from inability to recover critical information

 

The Dual Backup Imperative

 

1. Infrastructure Backups (On-Prem/Servers)

 

  • Protects your file servers, databases, and applications

  • Should follow the 3-2-1 rule:

            → 3 copies of data
            → 2 different media types
            → 1 offsite/cloud copy

 

2. Microsoft 365 Backups (Often Overlooked!)

 

Microsoft's shared responsibility model means THEY protect infrastructure, YOU protect data:

 

  • Native recovery options are limited (typically 30-93 days)

  • Common risks not covered by Microsoft:

            → Accidental deletions
            → Malware/ransomware encryption
            → Departing employee sabotage
            → Retention policy mistakes

 

Key Backup Features Every Business Needs

 

        ✔ Automated daily backups (no manual effort)
        ✔ Point-in-time recovery (restore from any specific date)
        ✔ Air-gapped storage (protection against ransomware)
        ✔ Fast restoration (minutes vs. days)
        ✔ Compliance archiving (meet legal retention requirements)
