Microsoft 365 Outage   "We're having issues, but we're working on it," reads the service status page for Microsoft's software products, as Microsoft 365 (Consumer) "continu[es] to incrementally recover" from an outage starting in the morning on Monday, November 25. Throughout the day, customers reported problems or complete outages in Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Purview, Copilot, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft Bookings, Microsoft Defender for Office365, and Outlook Web and Desktop. At 6:25pm EST, Microsoft updated the status of the outage, adding an explanation: "We identified a change that caused an influx of retry requests routed through servers, impacting service availability. To address this, we implemented optimizations to enhance the infrastructure's processing capabilities. These changes have provided incremental relief, and we are closely monitoring the service to ensure stability. Our team is actively performing follow-up actions and will initiate additional workstreams as needed to fully resolve the issue." https://lnkd.in/e7sNMbYN

Tech Tip of the week! Here are four questions you should be asking yourself regarding backups that are often overlooked: 1)    How long will it take to get your data back in a scenario needing data restoration? Backup files are LARGE and take hours, days, or weeks to recover depending on vendor response time and bandwidth available to download. 2)    How long can your business be down without access to your servers? Having redundant server clusters can be costly and restore at slow rates. 3)    How much data can your business lose? Backups aren’t instantaneous, and more frequent backups require bigger and more costly hardware. 4)    How far back do you need to retain data? Depending on the industry, this can be days, weeks, or even years. These questions can help you decide how to backup your data, how much you should prioritize recovery time versus cost, and long-term backup retention. If you could use a hand deciding how to best protect your data, give us a shout! Want to learn more?
