Office 365 is vulnerable to both ransomware attacks and data loss due to human error or malintent. None of Office 365 services is safe from these events. Furthermore, Microsoft has limitations to the file recovery time. There’s a great chance you’ll detect the data loss after the recovery opportunity expires.

Our block-level deduplication backs up only those portions of files that have changed since the previous backup, so you don’t needlessly backup the same unchanged data again and again. This increases efficiency by reducing the amount of data transferred for each backup and reduces your storage space by not storing duplicate data. As an added benefit, this capability enables you to retrieve previous versions of your files (up to the limits specified in your data retention settings).
Restoring data can be done within the APP or online via the Portal.
You can restore either Files and Folders or if you have opted for Image you can download a VMDK file and create a Virtual Machine.

The encrypting key cannot be changed once you set up your Backup Set. This is necessary for the integrity of the Backup Set, making sure that backup data is only encrypted by one key. Otherwise, you will have problems remember two encrypting keys when you want to restore your files in the future.
You need to recreate your Backup Set if you really want to change your encrypting key.
- Use the Seed Loading Utility to backup your backup set to a local hard disk (instead of direct transfer to the backup server)
- Send the backup data, using a removable hard disk, to Cygnatech.
- The administrator can then load all your backup files from your removable hard disk into your backup account. This could save you days (even weeks) of performing your first full backup.
- In addition, subsequent backups are incremental (only new or updated files will be uploaded to the server), the amount of data transfer should be relatively small.
Please refer to the User’s Guide for details on the “Seed Loading Utility“.
