ProSight Data Protection Services (DPS): Hornetsecurity/Altaro 365 Total Backup
Microsoft 365 offers rudimentary archiving capabilities but does not provide native support for crucial data protection services like Exchange backups or extended point-in-time data recovery for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint. Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup services provide a modern platform for hands-free backup and rapid recovery of all your organization's Microsoft 365 mailboxes, Teams Chats, SharePoint sites, OneDrive files, and files on Windows-powered endpoints. Progent is a certified Hornetsecurity partner and offers ProSight Data Protection Services 365 Total Backup to deliver end-to-end deployment and management services for Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup platform. DPS 365 Total Backup delivers an affordable backup-as-a-service (BaaS) package that protects Microsoft 365 environments against data loss caused by human or system error, malicious insiders, and cyber attacks like ransomware.

Key features of 365 Total Backup include:

• Microsoft 365 mailbox backup: Back up Microsoft 365 user and group mailboxes. You can back up emails, attachments, calendars and contacts from any mailbox. You can recover complete individual and group mailboxes or perform item-level recoveries. You can also direct recovered data to another mailbox, so you avoid losing data that comes from a mailbox that has been deleted. Also, you can send recovered mailboxes or individual items to a PST file.
• SharePoint protection: Transparently back up information stored on SharePoint sites and restore files either to a ZIP archive or back to a SharePoint document library.
• Microsoft Teams backup: Back up Microsoft Teams user and group chats as well as the attachments shared during Teams Chats, meetings, and channel discussions. You can also copy recordings of meetings and code snippets. You can restore entire Teams Chats for users and groups to an HTML file or to a new Team. You can pick specific individual or group Team Chat conversations for granular recovery.
• OneDrive storage backup: Back up data stored on an individual's OneDrive account and recover either to the OneDrive account or to a ZIP archive.
  
  365 Total Backup can recover to a variety of file-type alternatives that include PST, HTML, and ZIP
• Windows endpoint backup policies: Policy-driven, granular file backup for Windows endpoints. Set up rules for entire groups of Windows-powered laptops and desktops by creating policies for backup folders, cloud storage, frequency, and retention time.
• Low recovery point objective (RPO): You can schedule copies of Microsoft 365 data to take place as frequently as four times per day, offering a small recovery point objective (RPO) window to reduce potential data loss.
• Searchable and browsable backups: Backups are searchable and browsable via a library of filters, enabling you to locate backed-up data rapidly and recover it accurately.
• Comprehensive auditing: Review a selection of activities like individuals enabling or turning off backups for mailboxes, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive storage, and SharePoint; their browsing activity; and their requests for data recovery. Audit results can be exported as needed.
• Advanced security: All backed up data can be secured via the AES-256 encryption standard. 365 Total Backup also offers two-factor authentication (2FA) and permits granular access rights for invidual users.
• Unlimited storage and point-in-time restore: Microsoft 365 does not offer full-featured backup/restore for Exchange Online customers. This can severly complicate recovery from ransomware attacks or other calamitous events. Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online limit point-in-time restores to at most 30 days, which may be out of compliance in certain regulated industries or with your own corporate guidelines. The 365 Total Backup license includes indefinite retention of point-in-time Microsoft 365 backups.
