Creating a disaster recovery plan for cloud services Azure AD and Microsoft 365

Data in Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 (previously Office 365) is continuously replicated to multiple,geographically-dispersed data centers, which ensures data availability even in case of infrastructure failure in one data center. In the event of large-scale failures, service continuity management procedures are initiated, enabling users to remain productive and almost oblivious to these underlying issues.

So with all these protective measures in place, do you really need to back up Microsoft 365 data?

This guide will explore the reasons why you need to back up your Azure AD and Microsoft 365 data, and how having a robust backup solution can help prevent data loss in the event of an outage.
