Description
PDS requires a cloud data protection and cyber recovery platform that provides backup, recovery, ransomware protection, and data resilience across on-premises and cloud services. For Microsoft 365, the software creates independent backups of Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Teams data, storing protected copies separately from the production Microsoft 365 environment. This allows organizations to quickly restore individual emails, mailboxes, files, folders, document libraries, or entire sites if data is lost, corrupted, accidentally deleted, or affected by a cyber incident.
