How To Restore Microsoft Office 365 Objects from Your Cloud Backup

DECEMBER 5TH, 2016
Lost or accidentally deleted a Microsoft Office 365 email or file attachment? Office 365 will save your files for a period of 30 days in the Deleted Items folder, but in case it's been more than that, you may not be able to recover your emails, contacts or documents. To save data indefinitely, Microsoft Office 365 admins need to enable Mailbox Litigation Hold for Exchange Online. If you lost data prior to enabling Mailbox Litigation Hold, you're out of luck. This is why backup and disaster recovery applications such as the Cloud Backup for Microsoft Office 365 from StorageCraft are the perfect solution for enterprise cloud apps management and BDR.
