Have you had it with Google sheets? So have I. Excel is my home. It’s where I write all my best formulae. And what
|
||||||
|
about PowerPoint? The way it just finds stock photos for you? The automatic ‘alternative designs for this slide’
|
||||||
|
button? It’s too good. I can’t give up Microsoft 365.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you did some work today, there’s a very good chance you opened a Microsoft tool. M365 is used by
|
||||||
|
[more than a million](https://www.statista.com/statistics/983321/worldwide-office-365-user-numbers-by-country/)
|
||||||
|
companies worldwide, and nearly 880,000 companies in the U.S. use the software suite. But with that widespread usage
|
||||||
|
comes risk, business-critical data is at risk of loss or corruption, if not securely backed up and protected.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## The problem with built-in backups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A couple of years back I took the time to get the AWS ‘baby cert,’ their first certification. The focus of the
|
||||||
|
material surprised me, along with learning about the most popular AWS products and their benefits, you had to learn
|
||||||
|
cold all the things that AWS will not do for you. AWS won’t alert you to poor performance on your applications. It
|
||||||
|
won’t automatically scale down your instances. And while AWS and the other public cloud providers completely meet their
|
||||||
|
promised SLA, they do not promise to deliver the backups that you expect them to deliver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
“I accidentally deleted the customer DB,” isn’t a situation that public cloud companies are built to prevent or
|
||||||
|
ameliorate. Fundamentally, on all public clouds, backups are a shared responsibility between administrator and service.
|
||||||
|
For another example, see this from Microsoft's Diana Kelley:
|
||||||
|
["Driving data security is a shared responsibility, here’s how you can protect yourself"](https://www.statista.com/statistics/983321/worldwide-office-365-user-numbers-by-country/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Data Loss Happens
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let’s talk about the stats on data loss:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Data loss can result from accidental or intentional deletion, cyber-attacks and malware, a poorly executed migration,
|
||||||
|
or the cancellation of a software license, among other reasons. For example,
|
||||||
|
[40% – 2 out of 5 servers](https://www.veeam.com/blog/data-loss-2022.html) – had at least one or more outages over the
|
||||||
|
past 12 months. And cybercrime is on a continual rise – the average number of data breaches and cyberattacks were
|
||||||
|
[up 15.1% in 2021](https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckbrooks/2022/06/03/alarming-cyber-statistics-for-mid-year-2022-that-you-need-to-know/?sh=642204357864),
|
||||||
|
compared with the previous year. As of 2022, the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. was $9.44 million.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## The limitations of backup tools
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While many backup and recovery solutions exist for M365 data, many lack comprehensive workflows, are hard to use and
|
||||||
|
implement, or are cost prohibitive. Yet reliable and regular backups are critical for ensuring your data is protected
|
||||||
|
and always available, in case of a breach, unexpected server failure or failed data migration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And that’s why we built Corso, a free and secure, 100% open-source solution that protects M365 data by securely and
|
||||||
|
efficiently backing up all business-critical data to object storage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Why Corso?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Corso is purpose-built for protection of your M365 organization account (this tool doesn’t work with consumer accounts)
|
||||||
|
with easy-to-use comprehensive backup and restore workflows that reduce backup time and administrative overhead,
|
||||||
|
improve time-to-recovery, and replace unreliable scripts or workarounds. It enables high-throughput, high-tolerance
|
||||||
|
backups that feature end-to-end encryption, deduplication, and compression. Plus, it’s compatible with any S3-compliant
|
||||||
|
object storage system: AWS S3 (including Glacier Instant Access), Google Cloud Storage and Backblaze. (Azure Blob
|
||||||
|
support is coming soon).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Corso’s secure backup protects against accidental data loss, service provider downtime and malicious threats, including
|
||||||
|
ransomware attacks. Plus, a robust user community provides a venue for admins to share and learn about data protection
|
||||||
|
and find best practices for how to security configure their M365 environments. As a member of the community, you’ll
|
||||||
|
have access to blogs, forums, and discussion, as well as updates on public and feedback-driven development.
|
||||||
|
[Join the Corso community on Discord](https://discord.gg/63DTTSnuhT).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Low-Cost and Highly Secure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Corso's source code is licensed under the Apache v2 open-source license. It’s open source, and it’s free – which makes
|
||||||
|
it the perfect solution for cost-conscious teams. And that’s not where the cost savings end, Corso’s flexible retention
|
||||||
|
policies and ability to compress and deduplicate data efficiently before sending it to storage, helps reduce storage
|
||||||
|
costs, as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Interested in Trying Corso?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Corso is currently a tool in alpha to give you a CLI for backups of your M365 data.
|
||||||
|
[Follow the quickstart guide](https://docs.corsobackup.io/) to start protecting your business-critical M365 data in
|
||||||
|
just a few minutes. Because Corso is currently in alpha, it should NOT be used in production.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Corso supports Microsoft 365 Exchange and OneDrive, with SharePoint and Teams support in active development. Coverage
|
||||||
|
for more services, beyond M365, will expand based on the interests and needs of the community.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, your feedback is critical for our work on this tool! Please
|
||||||
|
[tell us what you think of Corso](https://discord.gg/63DTTSnuhT).
