#IMPORTANCE OF DATA BACKUP RESTORE SOFTWARE#
RH: As a partner, I can go out to my clients and say, “Hey guys, you know what, here’s the software that we can use. How important is this to partners and customers? AvePoint just announced an expansion of our cloud backup to include Azure. You have to keep an eye on both if you want to get the most out of your contract. The most common mistake when it comes to companies going out there and selecting a backup vendor is that they just look at the backup functionality, not the restore functionality.
The majority of the different backup vendors out there can do a restore when it comes to the entire Team, but do you really want that? If you’re looking for something more granular like a backup of a certain Team or file within a Team, you have to find a third-party that can offer that. Let’s take Teams or SharePoint groups, for instance. All businesses are different and have different needs. Needs may also be different across industries and geographical locations in terms of standards and guidelines that have to be followed. They have different workloads between Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, maybe file shares that have been migrated over, and so on. Both backup and restore measures are necessary.ĬB: What I hear most often is that organizations simply have much more granular backup and restore needs now. We’ve had cases where a small business consistently backed up its data for years only to discover that its data had been corrupted a long time ago. Everything from small businesses to large enterprises need help with this, especially in terms of data restoration. If it turns out that the native capabilities provided by Microsoft aren’t enough, consider a third-party solution. Do restore tests that build on disaster recovery concepts, create restore plans according to your company’s needs, and so on. My best suggestion is to sit down and map out different restore scenarios. They’re dedicated to developing and creating great values when it comes to restore capabilities, so as quickly as Microsoft unlocks those APIs or capabilities for third-party hooks they’re right there. That’s where it’s good to utilize third parties. Does the Azure infrastructure facilitate fast recovery time objectives? There are some services within Azure like VMs and storage that hit the mark, but there are also a lot of capabilities missing. While there are some powerful backup capabilities within Microsoft 365, you need to add further backup and restore capabilities to that. With Microsoft providing some baseline backup capabilities in Azure, is a 3rd party cloud backup even really necessary? What is the history of backup and restore with Microsoft 365? How important is this to partners? To your customers?
#IMPORTANCE OF DATA BACKUP RESTORE FULL#
Watch our discussion below or read the full transcript at your convenience! In this week’s episode of #O365 Hours, I sat down with Cloud and Datacenter Management MVP Robert Hedblom to discuss why data backup and restoration is so important, what Microsoft provides natively, and how third-party solutions can help extend those capabilities. However, data backup and restoration often doesn’t the get the attention it deserves, and the result is the unnecessary loss of valuable data every year.
Data security continues to be of the utmost importance for any type of modern organization.
