Why Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace Don’t Actually Back Up Your Data
Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace have become business essentials. They make it easy to collaborate, stay productive from anywhere, and keep your team connected. But they don’t back up your data. Just because your data is in the cloud doesn’t mean it’s backed up.
It’s a common assumption, and a dangerous one.
These tools are built for accessibility and uptime, not for long-term data recovery. If something is deleted, overwritten, or encrypted by malware, you may be out of luck unless you’ve set up a proper backup system.

Cybercriminals are now using artificial intelligence to craft messages that are personalized, context-aware, and alarmingly convincing. These aren’t the mass email scams of the past.
