Microsoft Office 365 Groups backup is a very important part of an overall data security and protection plan. That’s because Office 365 Groups enables teams of people to collaborate and share business critical data, files, project information and much more.
With unlimited storage and restore there’s never a worry about running out of space. And your data is your data, you can restore as many or as few files as you need, as often as you need. This ensures you have the ability to backup all Groups data and files and restore them should a data disaster happen.
Every hour of every day someone in an organization accidentally deletes a critical file. This becomes an issue when recycle bins are emptied, either manually or due to 30 day time limits for file retention. Finding the file is hard enough, especially if there are multiple users in multiple Teams. Trying to restore the file if it was deleted from the recycle bin is virtually impossible. This is the major hole in most firm’s data protection strategy.
Setting up and running automated backups with Dropsuite’s Groups / O365 backup solution is fast and easy. Files are securely stored in a centralized cloud-based system. This ensures Groups files are protected and safe at all times. Even better, using advanced search it’s possible to find files extremely quickly across multiple users across multiple Groups. So should a critical file be needed, it’s fast and simple to find it and restore it.
Groups in Office 365 is a very useful and powerful tool for creating sets of members and shared resources for collaboration, sharing and project management. What sort of resources? Typically, groups of people working on a project together need to share Outlook inboxes, calendars, file libraries, documents, notes, calendars and much more.
Office 365 Groups was designed to simplify assigning resources and members to a group. Instead of having to set permissions for every single member and every single Outlook inbox, file library, document and more, you simply create a Group, add resources to it, then add members to that Group.
Groups greatly speeds up and simplifies the time and energy it takes to set up sharing of resources and management of members so everyone in the group can collaborate and share various Office 365 resources.
Unlike Office 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace that enables communication in real-time, using instant messaging and the ability to share a file.
Note: A Group doesn’t have to have a Team but every Team has a Group.
