Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) holds a 30% share[1] in the global office software market. From Outlook to Teams, SharePoint to OneDrive, it offers a strong ecosystem for organizational collaboration and productivity. However, have you ensured all your Microsoft 365 data is properly backed up and protected?
While Microsoft ensures the reliability and uptime of its infrastructure, it does not provide comprehensive backup services for your data. According to Microsoft's Shared Responsibility Model, the responsibility for data protection and long-term retention lies with you, the customer. Even in SaaS environments like Microsoft 365, customers are always responsible for their own data, identity management and endpoint security. Without a backup solution, your data remains vulnerable to risks such as accidental deletion, security threats, data loss and compliance issues.
What’s more, relying solely on Microsoft’s native tools for data protection can lead to vendor lock-in, limiting your organization’s flexibility to adapt, migrate or adopt multi-cloud strategies.
Therefore, it's important to manage and secure your data with a professional cloud storage solution to meet your backup and disaster recovery objectives.
When evaluating a backup and restore offering, what really matters isn't only the backup, but the ability to restore your data to a healthy state quickly when you need it. Recovering large volumes of content is difficult when copying data at a scale from a remote, air-gapped location requiring weeks or even months to get your business back up and running.
Impossible Cloud is seamlessly integrated with Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners like Veeam and Acronis to provide comprehensive backup solutions.
Both Acronis and Veeam support Azure VM backups to Impossible Cloud via the Microsoft 365 backup module. Veeam allows direct backups from Microsoft 365 to S3-compatible object storage, while Acronis requires configuring the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure with a Backup Gateway to connect to third-party S3-compatible storage.
