ProSight Data Protection Services: Hornetsecurity 365 Total Backup
Microsoft 365 comes with basic archiving but fails to include native support for critical backup/recovery features such as Exchange backups or extended point-in-time recovery for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint Online. Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup services provide an advanced platform for hands-free backup and quick recovery of all your organization's Microsoft 365 mailboxes, Teams Chats, SharePoint files, OneDrive files, and files on Windows-powered endpoints.

Progent is an authorized Hornetsecurity/Altaro partner and has designed ProSight Data Protection Services 365 Total Backup to deliver comprehensive integration and management expertise for Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup platform. DPS 365 Total Backup represents an affordable backup-as-a-service solution that protects Microsoft 365 environments against data loss caused by user or system error, malicious insiders, and cyber attacks like ransomware.

Headline capabilities of 365 Total Backup include:

• Microsoft 365 mailbox backup: Back up Microsoft 365 individual and group mailboxes. You can choose to back up emails, file attachments, calendars and contacts within any mailbox. You can restore entire user and group mailboxes or specify item-level recoveries. You also have the option to send recovered data to a different mailbox, so you avoid losing data that originates from a mailbox that has been deleted. In addition, you can export recovered mailboxes or items to a personal storage table (PST) file.
• SharePoint protection: 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 Microsoft Teams user and group chats plus any attachments shared in the course of Teams Chats, meetings, and team channel discussions. You can also protect recordings of meetings and code snippets. You can restore complete Teams Chats for individuals and groups to an HTML file or to a new Team. You can choose specified user or group Team Chat conversations for selective recovery.
• OneDrive storage backup: Back up data stored on an individual's OneDrive storage account and restore either to the OneDrive account or to a ZIP archive.
  
  365 Total Backup can restore to a selection of file-type alternatives including PST, HTML, and ZIP
• Windows endpoint backup and policies: Policy-based, granular file backup for Windows endpoints. Define rules for entire groups of Windows endpoints by establishing policies for backup folders, cloud storage, frequency, and retention time.
• Low recovery point objective: You can automate copies of Microsoft 365 data to take place as frequently as four times per day, achieving a short recovery point objective interval to minimize worst-case data loss.
• Search and Browse backups: Backups are searchable and browsable via a library of filters, making it possible to find protected data rapidly and recover it accurately.
• Comprehensive audits: Review a selection of activities like users activating and turning off backups for mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive storage, and SharePoint; their data browsing history; and their requests for data restoration. Audit records can be exported as required.
• Advanced security: All backed up information can be protected using the military-grade AES-256 Advanced Encryption Standard. 365 Total Backup also allows two-factor authentication and permits granular access rights for invidual users.
• Expandable storage and point-in-time restore: Microsoft 365 does not include advanced backup/restore for Exchange Online subscribers. This can seriously hinder recovery from ransomware or other calamitous scenarios. Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online cap point-in-time restores to at most 30 days, which may not be compliant in certain industries or with your company's guidelines. The 365 Total Backup license allows for indefinite retention of point-in-time Microsoft 365 backups.
