ProSight Data Protection Services: Hornetsecurity/Altaro 365 Total Backup
Microsoft 365 comes with basic archiving but fails to include integrated capability for crucial backup/recovery services such as Exchange Online backups or extended point-in-time data recovery for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft OneDrive, or SharePoint. Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup services offer an advanced platform for automatic backup and fast restoration of all your organization's Microsoft 365 mailboxes, Microsoft Teams Chats, SharePoint document libraries, OneDrive storage, and files on Windows-powered endpoints. Progent is an authorized Hornetsecurity/Altaro partner and has designed ProSight Data Protection Services 365 Total Backup to provide comprehensive integration and management expertise for Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup platform. DPS 365 Total Backup offers a low-cost managed services package that protects Microsoft 365 deployments against data loss caused by human or system error, malicious users, and malware such as ransomware.

Headline 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 within any mailbox. You can recover entire user and group mailboxes or perform item-level restores. You can also direct recovered objects to another mailbox, so you avoid losing data that comes from a mailbox that has been turned off. In addition, you can send recovered mailboxes or individual items to a personal storage table (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 Teams user and group chats as well as the attachments shared during Teams Chats, meetings, and team channel discussions. You can also copy recordings of Teams meetings and code snippets. You can restore entire Teams Chats for individuals and groups to an HTML file or to a new Team. You can pick specific user or group Team Chat conversations for granular restoration.
• OneDrive storage backup: Back up files stored on an individual's OneDrive account and recover either to the OneDrive account or to a downloadable ZIP archive.
  
  365 Total Backup can restore to a selection of file-type options that include PST, HTML, and ZIP
• Windows endpoint backup policies: Policy-based, file-level backup for Windows endpoints. Define rules for entire groups of Windows-powered endpoints by establishing policies for backup folders, cloud-based storage, frequency, and retention time.
• Low recovery point objective (RPO): You can program backups of Microsoft 365 data to occur as frequently as four times daily, allowing a small recovery point objective (RPO) interval to minimize potential data loss.
• Searchable and browsable backups: Backups are searchable and browsable via a library of filters, enabling you to find protected data quickly and recover it easily.
• Comprehensive audits: Review a variety of activities such as individuals turning on and disabling protection for mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint; their data browsing activity; and their requests for data recovery. Audit results can be exported as required.
• Enterprise-class security: All copied information can be secured via the military-grade AES-256 encryption standard. 365 Total Backup also offers two-factor authentication and permits granular access policies for users.
• Expandable storage and point-in-time recovery: Microsoft 365 does not offer advanced backup/restore for Exchange Online subscribers. This can severly impede restoration from ransomware attacks or other calamitous scenarios. Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online limit point-in-time recoveries to at most 30 days, which may not be compliant in various industries or with your own corporate policies. The 365 Total Backup license offers indefinite storage of point-in-time Microsoft 365 backups.
