“The Cloud” may sound like an elusive, magical place to create and store data, but the truth is, data stored in the cloud-based apps, like Office 365, Google and Salesforce, is just as vulnerable as data stored on a simple backup disk, which means it’s up to you to back it up.

When it comes to data stored in the cloud:

• User error is the number one cause of data loss.
• Cloud vendors keep deleted data for limited retention periods (weeks).
• Some cloud vendors charge additional fees for data recovery.

So if you are storing data in any cloud-based apps, you need to know, it is highly at risk. To learn more about how cloud vendors protect your data and where they fall short, download the eBook, Why SaaS isn’t Backup.
