Microsoft 365 Backup FAQs
Protecting your Microsoft 365 data is your responsibility. While Microsoft provides native tools for short term data replication (such as recycling bins), they recommend use of a third party solution. With dedicated protection businesses get purpose-built tools for extended retention, data isolation outside production environments, SLA compliance, and rapid, granular recoverability.
Retention policies can vary across companies and industries. For example, HIPAA regulations mandate that healthcare companies keep records for at least 6 years. With Metallic, you can select a pre-configured retention plan or customize your own based on your corporate compliance retention policies.
Yes, with Metallic® Backup for Microsoft 365, you can have multiple retention policies and set these policies at the mailbox level. For example, you may want to assign a longer retention policy for company executives.
Metallic is built upon a zero trust framework, where all data is air-gapped and isolated from source environments. In other words, Metallic stores backup copies outside of the Microsoft 365 environment, in a separate security domain. This ensures data loss events that impact production data (such as user error or an internal attack), cannot also impact backup copies. With rapid and flexible restore options, users can easily and quickly restore lost or compromised data.
eDiscovery for Metallic® Backup for Microsoft 365 provides a single experience to preserve data for regulatory compliance. Using simple keyword queries, users can uncover data buried deep within their Microsoft 365 environment and export it for preservation. Paired with eDiscovery for Metallic® Endpoint Backup, Metallic users get a fast, effective eDiscovery solution that spans across both workloads unison.
