Cloud backup gives you the added security of your data being stored in an isolated environment so that it cannot be accessed by malicious third parties. In the event of a disaster that compromises your on premise backup, cloud backups provide the perfect disaster recovery solution and we suggest that this forms part of your disaster recovery, or DR, plan. Having backup data in the cloud, away from your live environment, also makes it available for data interrogation and testing purposes. We would always recommend a local backup to run alongside your cloud backup. Your Veeam cloud licensing covers both cloud and local backups so to achieve a hybrid backup solution please talk to us about local storage options. 

An on-premise backup is the most cost effective solution for long term backup retention. We would advise using a NAS to store local backups due to their …. Multiple retention policies can be applied to this local backup data so that you can have both short term and long-term backups. A long term retention policy, often known as a G-F-S or grandfather, father, son backup, or backup archiving can be useful if you need to retain backups for a longer period for compliance or regulatory reasons. On-premise backups do not protect again on site events, such as fire, flood or theft, so we would recommend pairing your on-premise solution with an additional cloud solution.

Data that is held in cloud mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams is just as valuable as data sitting on a server and we recommend that this data is protected by backing up your entire Microsoft365 environment. Microsoft365 backup us especially important in serverless environments as data loss can affect cloud-based solutions, such as SharePoint, just as it would affect data in a traditional server environment. Data loss, or data becoming compromised by third parties, is not always malicious and can be caused by human error, or by system malfunctions. An example of this would be a ‘rogue’ automated task that deletes data from inside files.
