Why Backing Up Your Cloud Environment Matters - Aeko

Why Backing Up Your Cloud Environment Matters

Over the years, our conversations with clients at Aeko Technologies have consistently revolved around a shared concern: the indispensability of a robust SaaS backup platform. As a Microsoft Silver Partner and expert managed service provider, we want to shed light on the critical importance of securing your data, particularly within the Google Suite or Microsoft environment. Here’s why backing up your cloud environment to a 3rd party backup matters.

Backing Up Your Cloud Environment: Understanding Microsoft’s Approach to Backup

In our conversations with clients about data storage in SharePoint and emails, a common question comes up: “Isn’t Microsoft already backing up my cloud environment?” The answer is yes; Microsoft does perform backups, but those backups serve internal purposes. 

What they lack is the tailor-made approach necessary for your individual requirements. Moreover, the data recovery options are limited to only 30 days, adding pressure in situations where emails or files are unintentionally deleted.

The Power of 3rd-Party Backup

This is where the true value of a 3rd-party backup platform becomes clear. It offers you more control over your data, enabling you to set personalized retention policies. 

This approach ensures you can retrieve information precisely when you need it and in a manner that aligns with your business needs.

Setting Your Own Retention Policies

One significant advantage of employing a 3rd-party backup solution is the ability to set your own retention policies. You can choose how long your data is stored, providing flexibility and control often unavailable in default backup options. 

It’s about empowering businesses to align data management with unique needs and compliance standards.

Preparing for the Unthinkable

While we all hope for smooth sailing, large companies are not always immune to unforeseen disasters. In the event of a catastrophic failure at the hands of Google or Microsoft, relying solely on their internal backups for disaster recovery initiatives might not be enough for your company. 

Backing up your cloud environment acts as a digital cyber security insurance policy, ensuring that even in the face of the unthinkable, your data is secure and recoverable.
