An email backup is a copy of a set of emails that can be recovered when original emails are destroyed or deleted. Email backups are a form of data protection that secure email data by saving it to another storage device. Original versions of email can be restored from the backup when lost due to events such as accidental deletion, data corruption, theft, or a ransomware attack. Understanding what an email backup is and how it works is only part of the cyber resilience equation. It’s of course important to implement an email backup solution should data go missing as the result of an internal mishap.

However, as cyberattacks continue to become more rampant and sophisticated, it’s critical for organisations of all sizes to make sure data can be restored from a recent email backup should cybercriminals steal and encrypt data and intellectual property. Intellio’s managed Email and Data Backup can help keep your data secure and accessible by your intended users.
