Microsoft Recommends Third-Party Backup

February 2023

“After the expiration or removal of a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 license, your data is not instantly removed. The default retention time is 30 days; this means that you can renew or backup your data into PST before the data is entirely removed from Microsoft 365 or Office 365.”

– Learn.Microsoft: https://support.office.com

February 2020

“After the 90-day retention period ends, Microsoft disables the account and deletes the customer data. No more than 180 days after expiration or termination of a subscription to Office 365, Microsoft disables the account and deletes all customer data from the account.”

– Microsoft Support: https://docs.microsoft.com

Native Workarounds are Timebound and Cumbersome

Compared to SaaS cloud-to-cloud data backup for business critical solutions such as Office 365 - Native Solutions are incomplete.

Using a SaaS 3rd party backup solution such as CloudAlly, provides a comprehensive data protection capability for the IT manager.

Backup & Recovery solutions such as CloudAlly exist because native solutions are incomplete in providing a full & comprehesive backup for Microsoft 365.

  • Native solutions like Litigation Hold and Recycle Bins are timebound. Once the time limit is up your data is permanently deleted.
 
  • Native solutions are archival in nature and not built for data recovery. This means that restore is tedious and destructive (changes are overwritten) without unlimited point-in-time, or cross-user recovery.

Fast & Accurate Data Recovery Capabilities
