Does microsoft backup office 365 to cloud?

How is it possible to get a full Data Restore and Recovery for Office 365?

As your company’s information technology leader you have been in pursuit of better collaboration and storage capabilities, and have made the move to Microsoft Office 365, and while this is a powerful cloud-based suite of tools, that doesn’t mean your data is secure. So, does Microsoft Backup Office 365 To Cloud?

Just because MS solutions are on cloud, it doesn’t mean the complete Microsoft 365 Solution: Office 365 ExchangeSharePoint, and OneDrive solutions is backed up by Microsoft. You will discover this when you attempt & fail to restore your data from any point in time, without having a backup & restore add-on in place, as well.  Then, how is it possible to get a full Data Restore and Recovery for Office 365?

It is your responsibility to protect your corporate data when using the Microsoft cloud.  Business best practice guidelines require automated backup and recovery but, unfortunately, many companies don’t take the necessary steps to protect themselves from accidental or malicious data destruction.
1 in 3 companies report losing SaaS data, and of those companies, 64% admit to losing data due to user error.

If you don’t backup your Microsoft cloud data your business could be at risk of massive exposure for the simple reason that Microsoft does not provide the ability to recover data that has been accidentally or maliciously deleted or corrupted. The recycle bin is fine for short-term and item-level recovery, but doesn’t provide the ability to perform a point-in-time recovery of lost or corrupt data.  As data storage services, SharePoint and OneDrive are not only prone to sync errors, and accidental or malicious data loss, they’re also at risk from malware and ransomware such as CryptoLocker.
