Emboldened by the impeccable track record of data protection in virtualized and hybrid environments, NAKIVO introduced Microsoft 365 backup functionality in the first quarter of 2020.

Microsoft Office 365 Backup: Why and How
Microsoft Office 365 is many things, but it’s not Fort Knox for data some companies mistakenly believe. Those who place misguided trust in the service’s ability to retain and recover their data quickly discover that it lacks in many regards. For one thing, Microsoft Office 365 data is not entirely immune to phishing, ransomware, malware, and other external threats. For another, the threats emanating from within a company – turn cloaks, pawns, accidental deletion – can also be equally costly.
Not only does data loss cause operational disruption, but it can also bring severe legal and regulatory repercussions capable of undermining a company’s competitive edge or downright bringing its business functions to a halt. To hedge against data loss, forward-looking businesses backup their core Microsoft Office 365 applications with NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Offered as additional functionality of the comprehensive backup solution, backup for Microsoft Office 365 data enabled by NAKIVO Backup & Replication is cost-effective, flexible, and reliable in equal measure. Let’s break down NAKIVO’s offering by the core Microsoft Office 365 applications supported by the company’s solution.
