The whole point of a cloud platform is that user data is in the cloud, what you’re going for here is redundant
What I'm trying to achieve is backup and archival of data for long term retention and recovery.
There are certain legal obligations that as an organization we need to fulfill. Being able to recover emails and data from up to 5 years ago. If a user leaves or deletes an email or a file that we suddenly need to reference years down the road, that is not possible with the retention tools MS gives us.
So I'm looking for a solution that allows me to backup this data daily and store it for 5 to 7 years for future reference and recovery if needed.
We just recently purchased Mail Assure with Cove Data Protection from N-able to achieve a similar goal, but unfortunately I don't have any experience with it yet to advise if it is any good. It is an option though.
We also make use of cove. I’m relatively new to it.
