Cloud Back Up 101: Is your device data safe?
Many businesses have had instances of data loss or accidental deletion from their devices; it can harm productivity and profitability so severely that it feels like a highly-valued team member hasn’t shown up to the office. Don’t let your business suffer the same.
Backing up your business or individual devices (mobiles, tablets, etc) on a cloud-based system like FlexIT Restore Cloud Backup, it will keep your precious photos, files, and confidential data readily accessible and is the perfect complement to Microsoft 365.
iCloud vs Cloud Backup?
The differences in device backup may seem only pixels apart, but there are overwhelming benefits to choosing to back up your cloud system with a third-party data protection service based on your objectives; in fact, Microsoft recommends it. A provider backup may be cheaper in the short term, but it can only take a few existing holes in protection to severely cost you or your business.
Let’s takes look at iCloud alone, for example; there are great pros but the cons may not be ideal for your business needs. The data storage is limited if you’re on a budget and can quickly grow expensive if your business’s data needs increase, as well as extra data usage costs frequently incurred from constant uploading and downloading of content that’s in use further affecting your profit margins. And it IS likely your business will outgrow an iCloud storage system as it is still dependent on your local storage. Storing confidential information? Data on iCloud storage have layers of encryption yet there is a slightly gray area around the privacy of your contents so you cannot overrule the possibility of unauthorized users.
Protection and Backup of Business Devices
An overarching Cloud storage system (not to be confused with iCloud) that is supported via third-party backup is a more versatile, all-around solution. Here are some of the top features FlexIT Restore that clients love for their device backup solutions.
Unlimited Backup Storage
We want your business to grow and that means growing backup needs. FlexIT Restore offers unlimited storage and unlimited data retention for your backups in Microsoft 365, even for deleted users, so you can focus more on actually using your device than constantly finding more storage solutions to support it.
Comprehensive Data Retention
As unlimited data retention is on offer, we put it to good use. Your files will be backed up with the most frequent changes to files like Sharepoint and OneDrive restorable so you never lose the version you need; past or present. Even your Teams chat threads or deleted user data can be restored to look up those meeting messages or a previous employee’s crucial file version; this gives you the valuable power of reflection and restoration of past data, that would otherwise be lost, to then continue your business productivity well into the future.

Regional Storage Options Around the World
Firstly, what is regional storage? Regional Storage replicates files between multiple zones within a given region meaning that on most standard provider backup systems, some parts of your device will not be restored if needed if you’re beyond a given region. This can include iCloud photos, iTunes, Apple TV, or Apple Books but can vary depending on the region. This poses a big problem for businesses with remote employees that span multiple regions as well as holiday-makers that may lose precious data and images while traveling. FlexIT Restore Cloud Backup offers regional storage around the world with full support to ensure you have the relevant backups to suit your needs.
