    These days backing up and protecting school data is more complicated than ever — files, email, and other important data are scattered across a range of platforms from physical devices to cloud services like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
    This session will cover several case studies about modern data storage and backup challenges, such as finding the right mixture of local backups or why education institutions should consider keeping local backups of cloud data. We will also dive into different options for recovering data — from verifying backups to restoring after accidental or malicious deletion.
    Learning objectives
    - Understand shared responsibility policies of cloud services
    - Learn about retention and backup strategies for data in Microsoft 365
