CNC Newsletter Issue 8 2020

Welcome to our late autumn newsletter. We hope you are staying safe and well at this difficult time.

This month we’re talking about backups. Did you know that your company’s data and emails are not backed up automatically by Microsoft? Even if you are using the full suite of Microsoft 365 products. Microsoft do back up the systems and applications, but not your data! Read on to find out how to implement a secure Microsoft 365 backup process.

If you would like more information on data backups or any of our other products and services, do get in touch on 01273 384100 or email us at sales@cnc-ltd.co.uk.

Think your Microsoft 365 data
is backed up automatically?
Think again…

Many Microsoft 365 users think that Microsoft automatically backs up all their data. It doesn't! Microsoft manages the Office 365 infrastructure and ensures that all their systems are available. But Microsoft doesn’t back up your Exchange mailboxes or your SharePoint and OneDrive data.

It’s your responsibility to make sure that all your company's Microsoft 365 data is backed up regularly, stored safely and easy to access, should you need to.

We often talk about cybercrime in this newsletter. How prevalent it is and how many different threats are out there in the online world we live in. Hopefully you are well set up to prevent a cyber attack. But if the worst happens, and your business systems are hit by a successful cyber attack, a recent backup of your data will mitigate a lot of the damage.

A resilient backup process will also protect you in the event of other types of data loss, for example data being deleted by mistake.

What are the threats to your company data?

• Deletion - files and emails can be deleted accidentally through human error or deliberately by a disaffected employee or anyone who gains access to your systems.

• Corruption - files can be corrupted by one of the many malicious pieces of software, or malware, in existence. These can gain access to your systems by something as simple as an employee clicking on a link, without checking that it’s safe.

Recovering Your Data
