Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start your free trial of Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365.

Why do I need backup software for Microsoft 365 when Microsoft handles availability?

Why do I need backup software for Microsoft 365 when Microsoft handles availability?

Microsoft operates on a Shared Responsibility Model. While Microsoft ensures application uptime and infrastructure security for Microsoft 365, you are responsible for protecting your own data. Native features offer limited retention and little protection against threats like accidental or malicious deletion, corruption, and ransomware. Cove Data Protection provides comprehensive backup to guard against data loss, keeping your critical Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data secure, compliant, and always recoverable.
