You have made the switch to move your business applications to a SaaS (Software as a Service), such as Microsoft 365, Dynamics, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, or some other business application. As there are many misconceptions to what is backed up with your SaaS.

Most business do not understand the value or importance of backups until they need them.

Access and Control of Your Own Data

When you have cloud backups you have access and control over your data. You can access the backups on demand and restore them gradually or from a specific point in-time. If a file is corrupted, deleted, has synchronization errors or is a victim of an attack you will be able to recover in a timely manner and not be held hostage by what the SaaS has or their response time.

Retention Policy Control

You get control of your retention policies, frequency of backups, and granularity of backups. This can protect you from data loss and recovery times.

Security Vulnerabilities

Cloud to cloud backups can offer more security features built in that will better protect your data and the overall process. These additional safeguards can protect your business when faced with a failure.

Regulatory Exposure

Most Regulatory compliance mandate that protecting your data is a shared responsibility. In order for a business to have accurate recovery capabilities, third-party backups are essential.
