What Happens If M365 Data Is Deleted?
Discover why Microsoft 365 retention is not the same as backup and how to protect your critical business data.
Many organisations assume their Microsoft 365 data is protected indefinitely. In reality, Microsoft provides retention and recovery capabilities, but they are not a substitute for a dedicated backup strategy. If data is accidentally deleted, maliciously removed or encrypted by ransomware, recovery options may be limited depending on the circumstances and retention settings. Microsoft also follows a shared responsibility model, meaning organisations remain responsible for protecting their own data.
In this video, we explain why Microsoft 365 backup is an essential part of a modern data protection strategy. You'll learn why Exchange emails, OneDrive files, SharePoint documents and Microsoft Teams data all deserve dedicated protection to help safeguard against accidental deletion, cyber attacks and compliance risks.
Whether you're reviewing your backup strategy or looking to strengthen business resilience, this video highlights the importance of ensuring your Microsoft 365 environment can be recovered quickly when it matters most.
