Backups

[WildWestDesigns]

While I'm one for multiple backups, I firmly believe in them being all in my control. I certainly wouldn't make a single backup being under the control of a 3rd party.

Now, why with them pushing their data collection on everyone(MS), they need to get that handled with only automated responses. But I digress.

Although this is originally from reddit, so take that for what it's worth.

in 2017 a major client had a ransomware incident.
we recovered everything over a weekend.
THE LAST THING we worried about was the onedrive stuff.
microsoft had it all backed up.
THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO MY CLIENT until 34 days later
i was moving towards retirement so another MSP was our MICROSOFT CHANNEL PARTNER so it was never clear to us whether microsoft deliberately took that long or if the s**tty channel partner
never bothered to raise hell. microsoft repeatedly told me as IT manager i had no standing to request access to our files the request had to come from our channel partner

it seems it is kind of like when someone hit my wife's car, and although we had 5 letters from law firms the next morning,we had to wait 30 days to get OUR COPY of the accident report
