An astonishing 1 in 3 small businesses report losing data stored in cloud-based applications.
As small businesses increasingly move data into cloud-based applications, many IT teams think traditional best practices like data backup are unnecessary. After all, a SaaS application is always available, accessible from anywhere, and highly redundant, so why is backup needed?
An astonishing 1 in 3 small businesses report losing data stored in cloud-based applications. Not only can the loss of the data itself be devastating to a company, but the time lost in attempting a recovery can be equally damaging. The truth is that even data in cloud-based applications is vulnerable to:
- End-user deletion, whether accidental or malicious
- Malware damage or ransomware attacks
- Operational errors such as accidental data overwrites
- Lost data due to cancelled user licenses
- Misconfigured application workflows
With more and more small businesses depending on Office 365 to run their daily operations, these risks are impossible to ignore. That means that best practices like data backup are just as important in the cloud.
An independent data backup separated from the app itself is necessary to avoid the most common data loss pitfalls.
Skip the uncertainty and know your Office 365 data is backed up by the most complete solution on the market today. Reduce risk and spend more time and budget on strategic initiatives.
