Protect your Office 365 and grow recurring revenue with Toroid Cloud Backup
People delete data. Mostly accidentally, sometimes intentionally. And there is the ever-present threat of ransomware and other malware.
Office 365 provides redundancy, but that only ensures the availability of the present state of the data. It does not back up the data to protect against data loss events.
That means that even in the cloud, data protection is necessary.

Reliable and secure
Toroid Cloud Backup uses industry-leading 256-bit encryption at rest and 128-bit in transit. Your data never leaves the Azure environment, which ensures all the inherent security and compliance capabilities that Azure offers. Backup data can be stored at any of the more than 15 Azure data centers available globally – including multiple country-specific options in Europe, North America, and Asia. Customers can also opt to store backup data in their own Azure tenants (at additional cost).
Up to 6 backups a day
Toroid Cloud Backup takes multiple snapshots at regular intervals throughout the day.
Why do you need Toroid Cloud Backup when Exchange Online is already a cloud service?
Many small businesses may not be aware that the risk of data loss also extends to the cloud. As reported by the IT Compliance Policy Group, an industry research firm, 32% of businesses are impacted by data loss in the cloud.
Data loss can occur from any number of causes – from accidental deletion to malicious attacks like viruses and ransomware – and the detrimental costs from these incidents can be severe, up to $120,000 on average per incident for small businesses. Leveraging a cloud service like Exchange Online thus doesn’t necessarily protect you from these threats.
For this reason – and the fact that native data retention policies provided by Microsoft may not be adequate – it is just as important to backup Exchange Online data as it was when mail was being managed on-premises.
