Microsoft 365 Backup Isn't Enough: Your Settings and Drift
You've got Microsoft 365 backup, so you're covered. But if your sign-in policies vanished tonight, could you put them back exactly as they were?
In this video
- Microsoft keeps deleted email for fourteen days by default, a deleted mailbox for thirty, and the SharePoint recycle bin for ninety-three. That's retention, not a copy somewhere else.
- And Microsoft's own backup product protects mail, files and sites, not the settings that protect them: Conditional Access, Intune and Entra.
- Meanwhile a tenant is a living system. Exceptions, temporary access and changing defaults slowly move it away from what you agreed. That's drift.
- Systech protects your data, your settings, and your baseline.
- We back up your mail, files and sites, and keep a dated record of your tenant settings, held outside the tenant itself, so they can be put back.
- Then we watch for drift, explain every change in plain English, and nothing is reverted without your approval.
