Cost effective 365 Backup for Small Businesses
Small businesses should consider using Synology NAS devices for Backing Up their MS 365 cloud documents and emails
In today's data-driven business environment, the small business owner must ensure their critical data is secure and that backups are readily available when disaster strikes.. Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices offer a reliable and affordable solution for small businesses who are looking to backup their Microsoft 365 emails and cloud documents.
Synology have an addon called Active Backup for Microsoft 365 or ABM for short.
You may well ask, why does Microsoft 365 data need to be backed up?
For years there have been discussions back and forth on whether it is truly necessary to backup your data stored in 365. However Microsoft have now announced the coming of their own backup utility, and if Microsoft are offering a separate backup service…. well this strengthens the argument that businesses should also have their own independently backed up 365 content.
Here are several more reasons why businesses should consider using a Synology NAS for this purpose:
Enhanced Data Protection: Microsoft 365 cloud services provide robust capabilities for productivity and collaboration, but .. data loss can still occur due to accidental deletion, cyber threats, or system errors, any of these situations will require some form of Disaster Recovery. And by backing up Microsoft 365 documents to a Synology NAS, businesses create that additional layer of protection and ensure that their data remains secure and accessible.
Greater Control and Compliance: Using Synology’s ABM allows businesses to have greater control over their data. This can be particularly important for compliance with industry regulations and-or internal data governing policies that require data to be stored and managed within specific geographic regions. Flexible retention policies are a key feature of Synology’s ABM.
Cost-Effective Solution: Synology NAS devices offer scalable storage options that can accommodate the growing backup needs of businesses without incurring significant costs. This includes the fact that there is no ongoing monthly service fee to host your inhouse backup system..
Flexible Backup and Recovery Options: A Synology NAS comes equipped with user-friendly backup and recovery tools including ABM that simplify the process of safeguarding and restoring Microsoft 365 cloud documents.
