The first reason to lose data in the implementation of SaaS, such as Microsoft Office 365, is to accidentally delete data. In fact, about 70 percent of all lost data is due to accidental or malicious deletion of data by end users. Other ways in which data can be lost include incorrect settings, problems with client synchronization, and recently disseminated malware and ransomware, which can make the data unusable.

Although Microsoft Office 365 provides some basic recovery options with the Recycle Bin and email retention, Microsoft’s primary focus in Office 365 ensures uninterrupted service and data availability. It is your responsibility to protect the data you store in the Office 365 cloud. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup provides comprehensive, cost-effective and scalable protection for Office 365 data, without increasing infrastructure costs.

Barracuda’s Cloud-to-Cloud Backup Service backs up all Office 365 data to protect Barracuda Cloud Storage without the need for on-premises infrastructure. You can make a backup of the data on request or in accordance with an automatic schedule. Data from Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business is deduplicated and compressed for maximum storage efficiency and reduced backup windows before storing them in the Barracuda Cloud.

Online Exchange Barracuda protects the entire folder structure of each user’s mailbox, including all email messages and attachments.

OneDrive for companies. All files and folders below the document library are protected.

SharePoint online. All SharePoint data, including document libraries, site assets, and image libraries within team sites and public sites, are protected.

All Office 365 data backed by Barracuda Cloud is accessible, searchable and retrieved from anywhere connected to the Internet. Data can be retrieved from the site level to the individual item level. Messages, folders or even complete mailboxes and be restored to the original user and site, to a different location within the account, or to a completely different user account. You can also download articles to use offline.

If you are looking for a specific file or message but you are not sure of its location, you can use Search Feature to find the article quickly and easily. You can also restore the data to a specific time by specifying the selected dates of an embedded calendar. The recovered data is compressed to reduce download times.

For IT administrators, detailed reports and the audit logging are key to the backup solution. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup provides backup status and health monitoring for each backup source. E-mail alerts are delivered automatically after each backup to specified e-mail recipients containing a summary of detailed backup information and about e-mail messages, folders and files that have been added, deleted and modified from the last backup process.

On the Status page, the charts show the number of items added and the amount of data copied each day. Storage statistics and charts show in detail the amount of data that has generally been backed up and the storage efficiency, as well as the amount of data that is already stored in Barracuda Cloud after deduplication and compression. It tracks the audit log and provides details about each action performed in the cloud-to-cloud backup interface.
