Why Does Microsoft 365 Data Require Additional Backup and Recovery Protection?
Microsoft 365 delivers exceptional productivity tools, but it is not designed to include complete backup and recovery requirements. The platform’s current native data protection capabilities are not intended for long-term protection from data loss, compliance issues, and extended downtime.
Organizations need to provide additional data protection coverage for Microsoft 365—and for all SaaS platform data.
Arcserve SaaS Backup for Microsoft 365 provides comprehensive protection for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Teams data—so you maintain control of your critical business data.
The Microsoft Shared Responsibility Reality
The Microsoft shared responsibility model is clear: while they maintain the service infrastructure, you remain responsible for protecting your data. This distinction becomes critical when facing:
Accidental deletion of critical emails or files
Malicious actions by internal or external actors
Ransomware attacks targeting cloud data
Data corruption during synchronization processes
Data loss during tenant migrations
