Back up your valuable Teams information

Working online has many benefits, allowing users to work across multiple devices and locations. However, for this to work there is usually one 'golden instance' of that information which is held in the cloud then replicated to all devices. Delete it on one, lose it on all.

Working in the cloud means back ups work best when they are cloud based too. This allows information to be seamlessly backup and retrieved without any user intervention, whether they are logged in or not.

Your Microsoft 365 cloud data is not backed up!

It's easy to believe that once your data has been uploaded to Microsoft's cloud, either on Outlook email, Teams or OneDrive, it's safely protected for all time. But when a user has negligently or deliberately deleted data, then there is no recovery. If a file is deleted and the recycle bin emptied by the document owner, everyone the file is shared with loses the document too. According to backup provider Skykick, 71% of data loss is due to user error.

Many businesses have a legal requirement to retain data too. By backing up your online files, you also protect yourself from wider issues, such as disputes where digital evidence is required.

Cloud Backup now protects Teams Chat

Back ups of Microsoft Teams chats has now been added to the comprehensive backup coverage for Microsoft Teams. This ensures that as your business data moves from away from email into Microsoft Teams including Teams Chat, you can ensure that all your data is safely backed up.

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we work with Skykick to provide an industry-leading backup solution for Microsoft 365. Skykick frequently backs ups all email, Teams, Sharepoint and OneDrive data to a separate, secure UK Microsoft data centre.

As these are true backups, not just synchronised copies, all emails and files can be stored and restored for an indefinite period. And because it runs automatically in the background online, it requires no manual intervention or a computer to be left on.

Skykick can be installed remotely by Strident without the need to visit your premises. This enables you to enhance your data security now without having to wait. It costs just £2 per user per month for email only or £3.50 per user per month to back up Microsoft 365 including Microsoft Teams.
