Flying Squirrel: Protecting your Cloud Data

We often assume that our data is safe and secure in the cloud. After all, it’s nestled within the digital embrace of powerful platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. But here’s the surprising truth: there are gaps and risks lurking in the shadows of these seemingly robust systems. Not to worry, though! You can protect your data with Flying Squirrel cloud back-up by HardSoft and Devices for Teams.

What is Flying Squirrel?

Flying Squirrel is a cloud backup solution that takes a copy of your data and securely stores it on a UK server. It addresses data protection gaps left by in-built versioning systems from Microsoft and Google.

Let’s unpack what makes it exceptional:

1. Comprehensive Coverage: Flying Squirrel takes a copy of your data and securely stores it on a UK server. Unlike the native versioning systems of Microsoft and Google, it leaves no room for vulnerabilities. For instance, Microsoft 365’s recycle bin retains deleted emails for only 90 days, while Google Workspace lacks robust backup and recovery options.
2. What It Backs Up:
   • Company Communications: Your company emails, calendars, contacts, and tasks—all meticulously safeguarded.
   • Document Repositories: Whether it’s OneDrive or My-Drive documents, Flying Squirrel has them covered.
   • Collaboration Spaces: Sharepoint or Shared G-Drive data—backed up seamlessly.
   • Teamwork: All Groups and Teams data—because collaboration deserves protection too.
3. No Space Constraints: It doesn’t fret over storage space; backups can linger indefinitely without extra costs.

The Squirrel Showdown: Flying vs. Normal

Now, you might wonder how Flying Squirrel differs from its sibling, Squirrel Backup. Let’s break it down:

1. Squirrel Backup:
   • Scope: It caters to Local Servers, PCs, Qnaps, and NAS, alongside Microsoft 365.
   • Space Constraints: Here, space matters—you pay based on usage.
   • Microsoft 365 Focus: Squirrel Backup provides a robust Microsoft 365 backup solution.
   • Google Workspace: However, it doesn’t extend its protective wings to Google Workspace.
2. Flying Squirrel:
   • Cloud-to-Cloud Prowess: Designed exclusively for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace users.
   • Unlimited Storage: No shackles—store as much as you need.
   • Retention Magic: Keep backups forever, no strings attached.
   • Incremental and Full Backups: Flying Squirrel dances gracefully between incremental and full backups.

Who Should Use Flying Squirrel and Why?

Any customer using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace should consider Flying Squirrel for the following reasons:

• • Human Error Protection: Accidental deletions or overwrites happen. With Flying Squirrel, you can recover lost data.
  • Defence Against Threats: Protects against data loss due to ransomware, disgruntled staff, hackers, and other malicious actors.
  • Barracuda Replacement: If you were using Barracuda for cloud backup, switch to Flying Squirrel for better features and performance.

How Much Does It Cost?

Flying Squirrel offers a monthly subscription on a 12-month term:

• • £1.80 per week for 1-9 users (licensed mailboxes in MS365/Google)
  • As little as 80p per week for 50+ users (licensed mailboxes in MS365/Google)

In Summary

Flying Squirrel isn’t just a backup solution; it’s a guardian of your cloud data. So, when the digital winds blow, trust in the wingspan of Flying Squirrel to keep your information aloft and secure.

Remember: Safety isn’t an illusion—it’s a choice. Choose Flying Squirrel for cloud data protection that soars above the rest.
