Office 365 Cloud Backup

Having data in a cloud-based SaaS solution like Microsoft 365 doesn't necessarily protect you from threats. In order to truly protect your data in the cloud – especially in an era of increased remote work scenarios – you need a cloud backup solution.

Cloud Backup storage is in Microsoft Azure, and you can determine the storage location, based on two options available for each subscription: Use Axon's Azure server (with locations including the US, Australia, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, North Europe, Singapore, UK West, UK South, West Europe, France, Germany, Norway, South Africa, and Switzerland) or bring your own Azure storage (your own Azure tenant or a customer's Azure tenant).

Yes, Axon Backup conforms to all the HIPAA requirements of a Business Associate. Once a covered entity completes and signs our Business Associate Agreement (BAA), we can create a HIPAA-compliant Cloud Backup subscription. The BAA contains the elements specified at 45 CFR 164.504(e), including a description of the permitted and required uses of protected health information by Axon; the provision that Axon will not use or further disclose the protected health information other than as permitted or required by the contract or as required by law; and requirements to use appropriate safeguards to prevent a use or disclosure of the protected health information other than as provided for by the contract.

Axon Backup is a market-leading Microsoft 365 backup solution for small businesses. Its backup scope includes the complete set of Microsoft 365 productivity data that small businesses rely on to collaborate, communicate and operate efficiently, from Exchange Online information (mail, calendars, contacts, notes, etc.) to SharePoint libraries and data, OneDrive files and folders, and data stored and used by Microsoft 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams.

Axon Backup retains all data from deleted users. The data can be restored to a public or shared mailbox, or to another user.

There is no limit to how much user mailbox data is backed up by Axon Backup, nor is there a time limit to how long it is retained, provided your customers maintain an active subscription.

The time it takes to restore varies on the amount of data restored. Individual items can take as little as a couple of minutes while full mailboxes can take multiple hours depending on how much data is being restored.
