About This Session
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.

We will also dive into different options for recovering data — from verifying backups to restoring after accidental or malicious deletion.
