How are backups protected from ransomware?

Backups use immutable storage, which means backed-up files can’t be modified or deleted outside the secure backup interface. Additional protections include multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, encryption, and malware scanning before data is restored.

Can I access and restore my backed-up Microsoft 365 data from anywhere?

Yes. Cloudstar’s Microsoft 365 backup is cloud-native and fully accessible via a secure web interface, letting you recover data anytime, anywhere with a few clicks.

Where is data stored, and how do you ensure its security?

Your backups are stored encrypted in multiple geographically redundant cloud locations, meeting data residency and compliance requirements globally. This ensures strong protection against data loss and regional outages.

How quickly can I get started?

Getting started is fast and easy. With no hardware or software to install, you can sign up, configure, and run your first backup within five minutes—providing immediate protection and peace of mind.

Can the archiving system capture email from platforms other than Microsoft 365?

Yes. It supports all standards-compliant email services, including Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Exchange, Domino, GroupWise, and any other platform that allows SMTP journal forwarding or IMAP/POP3 access.

How are instant messages archived and stored?

Instant messages from Microsoft Teams (formerly Skype for Business and Lync) can be archived alongside email, keeping all communications in one secure, searchable repository for compliance and e-discovery.
