As companies increasingly move data into cloud-based applications, many people think that traditional, best practices like data backup are unnecessary. Most people assume that their email providers such as Microsoft or Google automatically take care of backups, but this is not entirely the case.
In Microsoft’s services agreement it states: “We recommend that you regularly backup your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.”
Google is also clear regarding limited recovery: “You have a limited time from when the data was permanently deleted to restore files and messages. After that, the data cannot be recovered and is gone forever.”
The risks of not backing up your email data
1 in 3 companies report losing data stored in cloud-based applications. So for companies that are reliant on their emails for their day-to-day operations, losing data or even the time spent attempting recovery, could be devastating.
Think about this, if someone walked into your business and deleted all your emails what would be your reaction? What would be the damage? Would you be able to recover?
A report by the Aberdeen Group states that over 70% of data loss in cloud applications is due to accidental or malicious deletion by end users.
Your email data 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 canceled user licenses
- Misconfigured application workflows
