Businesses, Don’t Overlook Email Backup
Cloud-based email services like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are popular for organizational email, but they prioritize availability over backup and recovery. Separate email backup solutions are crucial to protect against data loss from human error, employee turnover, cyber threats, and facilitate data migration. Google and Microsoft recommend using backup services as they store data for a limited time. Various companies offer email backup services like CloudAlly, CubeBackup, Backupify, Datto SaaS Protection, Dropsuite, MSP360 Managed Backup, Spanning, SpinBackup, and Synology Active Backup. It's essential to choose a backup solution carefully to avoid being locked into paying indefinitely for data stored in a specific format.
