Description

Many organizations believe that Microsoft 365 backup is handled by Microsoft. That's a dangerous misconception. In this episode, W. Curtis Preston (Mr. Backup) and Microsoft 365 expert Vanessa Toves explain why you own your data and are responsible for protecting it—not Microsoft. They discuss the limitations of the recycle bin, why retention policies aren't backups, and what can go wrong when organizations assume SaaS means hands-off data protection. Whether you're running a Fortune 500 company or a small business, if you're using Microsoft 365, you need a proper backup solution. Learn why the shared responsibility model means you're on the hook for your data, and what you can do to protect it. This conversation will change how you think about cloud data protection.
