Do you backup your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace data?

Do you use Microsoft 365 for your emails and file storage? Or maybe you use Google Workspace instead. Both are brilliant applications. But do you back it up?

Let’s take Microsoft 365 as an example. 

In their own service agreement, that every user has agreed to, in section 6b Microsoft say:

6b. “We strive to keep the Services up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and Microsoft is not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve Your Content or Data that you’ve stored. We recommend that you regularly backup Your Content and Data that you store on the Services or store using Third-Party Apps and Services.”

So there you have it, right from the horse’s mouth.

It’s your responsibility to backup your emails, files, calendar entries, contacts, Sharepoint & Teams sites. 

Microsoft clearly state that if there is an outage, your content and data might not be there anymore.

And they recommend you back it up using third party apps or services.

Google Workspace and Dropbox is the same. It’s your job to back it up, not theirs.
