Veeam Data Cloud for M365

Dear Valued Partners,

Hope everyone is doing well in terms of both “Health” as well as “Wealth” !!

Backing up Microsoft 365 (M365) data is critically important for organizations, despite Microsoft's robust infrastructure and built-in redundancy. The primary reasons boil down to the Shared Responsibility Model.

Let me break down why M365 backup is essential:

1. The Shared Responsibility Model: Let me help you to clarify the same with a simple example.
   1. Microsoft Responsibility (Infrastructure)
   2. Your Responsibility (Data)

The above term clearly states that Microsoft guarantees uptime and protection against major infrastructure failures; they do not guarantee data recovery that originates at the customer’s end.

2. Certain major reasons:
   1. Limited access and control on your own data
   2. Security Vulnerabilities
   3. Accidental deletions
   4. Data recovery is a big challenge
   5. Legal and compliance requirements
   6. Retention policy gaps
   7. The recycle bin provides limited recovery

3. Even Microsoft itself recommends taking regular backups of your Content and Data. You may refer to the same in the Microsoft Service Agreement. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement#6_serviceAvailability

Let’s rephrase in one line: “It’s your data, you control it, and you need to protect it.”
