Cloud applications have become an integral part of day-to-day business operations. With remote work on the rise, SaaS applications like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, and Dropbox have become the lifeline of productivity and collaboration. However, there's a crucial aspect that often gets overlooked: data protection. Today we'll explore the necessity of backing up your SaaS applications and introduce Open Text's Carbonite™ Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, as the comprehensive solution to safeguard your critical data.
The Responsibility of Data Recovery
Before delving into the details, it's essential to understand that the responsibility of data recovery lies squarely on your shoulders. Recent statistics reveal that only 13% of IT professionals were aware that they were solely responsible for backing up SaaS application data. This lack of awareness can leave your business vulnerable to data loss, data breaches, and the crippling effects of downtime.
The Vulnerability of SaaS Applications
SaaS applications are designed for collaboration and productivity, not disaster recovery. They offer limited protection against threats like ransomware, malware, and accidental data loss. When it comes to recovering lost data, SaaS vendors like Microsoft, Google, and others have limitations that businesses need to be aware of. For instance, point-in-time restoration of mailbox items may be out of scope, and some vendors explicitly recommend third-party backup solutions.

The Shared Responsibility Model
To understand why SaaS vendors recommend third-party backup solutions, it's crucial to grasp the shared responsibility model. While SaaS vendors secure the infrastructure and applications, the responsibility for data itself lies with you, the customer. This division of responsibilities emphasizes the need for robust backup solutions like Carbonite™ Cloud-to-Cloud Backup.
