Otava Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 Services

Otava, LLC, in secure and compliant cloud solutions, has added its Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365.

The SaaS offering provides backup service powered by Veeam Software for users of Microsoft 365 online applications on top of Otava’s compliant cloud infrastructure. Following the recent introduction of Otava Cloud Connect and Cloud Backup, Otava’s fully managed and self-managed backup solutions, Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 is yet another addition to the company’s portfolio of Veeam-based cloud backup solutions.

“As the secure and compliant cloud provider, our mantra is to deliver exceptional experiences for our customers and our mission is to ensure reliable data protection and accessibility,” said Brad Cheedle, CEO,. “We chose to partner with Veeam, the leader in cloud data management, to ensure everyone has access to a comprehensive solution that is easy to use, affordable and works to protect businesses and providers alike.“

According to a Veeam study conducted in August 2019, 74% of Microsoft 365 users have no protection strategy despite the fact that Microsoft 365 does not come with a long-term backup. Microsoft permanently deletes recycle bins after one month, SharePoint and OneDrive items after 3 months, and departed employee data after 1 month.

Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 is intuitive data protection, offering backup coverage of the entire Microsoft suite for both active and archived files including SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, Exchange mailboxes, Teams, Tasks, Notes and Journals. The solution provides protection vs. accidental deletions, malware, security threats and retention policy gaps with no additional fees for bandwidth, storage or licensing.

“Veeam recently commissioned a report with 451 Research that indicates there’s a common misconception that SaaS-based customer data is secure and protected because it’s ‘in the cloud,’” said Matt Kalmenson, VP of Americas cloud and service providers, Veeam. “The simple fact is that it’s not, and in the case of Microsoft 365, the licensing agreement clearly states that adequate data protection remains the responsibility of the customer. We are proud to partner with Otava to help more users protect their valuable data and their customer’s security.“

Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 users can choose 1, 3 or 7-year data retention options with flexible restoration methods to meet all business needs. The search function enables data retrieval with the same ease as traditional on-premises backup and data is encrypted end to end, both in flight and at rest. The service resides in compliant centers that are HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI, SOC1/2/3, ISO 27001 and Privacy Shield certified.

It complements Otava’s suite of hybrid cloud solutions, backup, DR and security solutions, providing protection and risk mitigation layered atop its cloud infrastructure. A 30-day free trial is available for new customers on all Otava backup services.
