Backup strategy for cloud data (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cloud databases, cloud file storage). Many organizations assume cloud providers back up their data—they don't. We ensure your cloud data is backed up, tested, and recoverable.
The Challenge
An employee's Microsoft 365 account was deleted and you couldn't recover years of emails
You were hit with ransomware affecting cloud data—no recovery option without paying attackers
You accidentally deleted a critical file from cloud storage and can't get it back
You don't have a compliance-aligned retention strategy for cloud data
Why It Matters
Cloud providers don't back up customer data—it's customer responsibility. Organizations often don't realize this until a security incident or accidental deletion occurs. Cloud backup adds a separate, immutable copy protecting against ransomware, malicious deletion, and accidental data loss. This is increasingly critical as organizations move data to cloud.

FAQ
They back up their infrastructure—not your data. If you delete a file or account, Microsoft doesn't recover it. Cloud backup adds a separate copy protecting against deletion and ransomware.
Cloud backup lets you restore the deleted data. If deletion was ransom-related, you can restore from clean backup without paying attackers.
Depends on compliance requirements and disaster scenarios. Common retention: 30-90 days for accidental deletion, 1-7 years for compliance/archive. We recommend at least 30 days minimum.
