Microsoft’s new 365 Planner (MS Planner) lets you coordinate all your projects, workflows, and tasks throughout the entire M365 suite of applications. But what if something goes wrong?
The new Planner can handle a lot of information: project objectives and deadlines, lists, discussions, job details and delegation, and other project management data that, taken together, can comprise complete roadmaps for important projects.
Lose the maps, however, and your teams might lose their way.
Microsoft doesn’t provide backups, or any way to recover information that’s accidentally or maliciously deleted or altered from Planner. That means an outage, mistake, or security breach could destroy the plans for entire projects. In this scenario:
- Critical projects, including software launches, might stall;
- Proprietary information and intellectual property could disappear;
- Your team’s research and market findings could be wiped out, with no way to get them back;
- Compliance audit documentation could vanish, threatening your certifications.
The way to avoid the hassle and heartache of a Planner catastrophe: frequent backups. Without Microsoft support, however, Planner users will need to rely on a third party to conduct them.
Frequent, automatic MS Planner backups are much simpler to achieve than you might imagine, and well worth the minimal effort and expense. Read on to find out why these backups are so important, and how to conduct them quickly and easily.
