🤬 … oh Microsoft 🤦🏻‍♂️ Somewhere right now, a nonprofit staffer is clicking around Microsoft 365 looking for a critical file. It's gone. And Microsoft just confirmed it isn't coming back. 😳 Not "we'll look into it"... Not "give us 48 hours"... Gone. 🤬 I've seen this movie before. People assume the cloud is the backup. It isn't. The cloud is where your data lives, which means it's also where your data can vanish. One wrong click, one bad sync, one retention policy nobody read, and you're the drunk landscaper who just weed-whacked your own files. Nonprofits feel this harder than anyone. Smaller teams, tighter budgets, donor records and grant documents they can't afford to lose. The exact folks who assume Microsoft has it covered are the ones finding out it doesn’t. So, do this today. Find out who owns your backups. If the answer is the cloud, you don't have backups. Get a real one, test that you can actually restore from it, and sleep better tonight. Disaster isn't a question of if. It's when. https://www.theregister.com/saas/2026/09/28/microsoft-tells-nonprofits-their-deleted-m365-data-isnt-coming-back/5299433#Nonprofits #Microsoft365 #DataProtection #ITLeadership #Cybersecurity #CloudComputing #BusinessContinuity #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #Backup
