ProSight Data Protection Services: Hornetsecurity 365 Total Backup
Microsoft 365 offers rudimentary archiving capabilities but fails to provide native support for crucial backup/recovery features like Exchange backup/restore or extended point-in-time recovery for Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint Online. Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup services offer a modern platform for automatic backup and quick restoration of all your company's Microsoft 365 mailboxes, Microsoft Teams Chats and attachments, SharePoint files, OneDrive storage, and content on Windows endpoints.

Progent is a certified Hornetsecurity/Altaro partner and has designed ProSight Data Protection Services 365 Total Backup to deliver comprehensive deployment and management expertise for Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup platform. DPS 365 Total Backup offers a low-cost backup-as-a-service solution that guards Microsoft 365 environments against data loss resulting from human or system error, malicious users, and malware such as ransomware.

Headline features of 365 Total Backup include:

• Microsoft 365 mailbox backup: Back up Microsoft 365 user and group mailboxes. You can choose to back up emails, file attachments, calendars and contacts from any mailbox. You can restore complete individual and group mailboxes or specify item-level restores. You also have the option to send restored data to a different mailbox, so you do not lose data that originates from a mailbox that has been deleted. Also, you can export recovered mailboxes or items to a PST file.
• SharePoint backup: Automatically back up information residing on SharePoint sites and recover files to a ZIP archive or back to a SharePoint document library.
• Teams backup: Back up Teams user and group chats as well as any attachments shared in the course of Teams Chats, meetings, and team channel conversations. You can also back up recordings of meetings and code snippets. You can restore entire Teams Chats for individuals and groups to an HTML file or to a new Team. You can pick specific user or group Team Chat threads for selective restoration.
• OneDrive files backup: Back up files stored on an individual's OneDrive account and restore either to the OneDrive account or to a downloadable ZIP archive.
  
  365 Total Backup can recover to a variety of file-type alternatives including PST, HTML, and ZIP
• Windows endpoint backup and policies: Policy-based, file-level backup for Windows endpoints. Set up rules for whole groups of Windows-powered laptops and desktops by creating policies for backup folders, cloud-based storage, frequency, and retention time.
• Granular recovery point objective (RPO): You can program backups of Microsoft 365 data to take place as often as four times per day, offering a short recovery point objective (RPO) window to minimize potential data loss.
• Searchable and browsable backups: Backups are searchable and browsable via a library of filters, making it possible to find protected data quickly and recover it easily.
• Comprehensive audits: Review a selection of activities like users enabling and turning off protection for mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive storage, and SharePoint; their data browsing activity; and their requests for data recovery. Audit records can be exported as needed.
• Advanced security: All backed up data can be secured using the military-grade AES-256 encryption standard. 365 Total Backup also offers two-factor authentication and permits granular access rights for invidual users.
• Expandable storage and point-in-time recovery: Microsoft 365 does not include advanced backup/recovery for Exchange Online subscribers. This can severly hinder restoration from ransomware attacks or other calamitous scenarios. Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online limit point-in-time restores to at most 30 days, which may not be compliant in certain industries or with your own corporate policies. The 365 Total Backup license allows for unlimited retention of point-in-time Microsoft 365 backups.
