Why backups in Microsoft 365 are essential
Every day, organizations increasingly entrust their productivity to Microsoft 365: email, documents, Teams, and real-time collaboration. But there is a reality that is often overlooked.
Microsoft 365 is not a complete backup system.
The responsibility for the data continues to lie with the company. In ABD Consulting and IT Solutions we help our clients cover this risk with Barracuda Cloud‑to‑Cloud Backup, a leading solution for data protection in Microsoft 365.
