Secure your business-critical data with our backup and recovery solution
When you add to the equation the likelihood of employee errors and the frequency of malware attacks and security breaches, you have a significant cybersecurity gap that can cause business-critical data loss without any chance of recovery.
Dropbox is a powerful solution. However, native options to restore deleted items are time-bound, destructive (overwrite existing data), and cumbersome. Moreover, once your data has been expunged from Deleted files, it’s permanently gone.
Although your data is hosted by Dropbox, maintaining control and protection of your business data in case of security threats or accidental deletion is ultimately your company’s responsibility. Dropbox states, “After a recovery window, all files will be permanently deleted within 60 days “. As do Gartner and Forrester. Data regulatory laws like the GDPR and HIPAA also mandate demonstrable recoverability.

FAQ
The following are frequently asked questions about our backup for Dropbox, data retention policies, and data recovery options within Dropbox.
Dropbox business solution saves deleted and previous versions of files for 180 days, so you can recover them if desired.

Once they’ve been permanently deleted, they can no longer be recovered or restored.
The extended version history (EVH) was previously available as a Dropbox Plus subscription add-on. This is no longer available for purchase. Hence, why you need our Dropbox Backup solution.
