Case Study: East Aurora School District 131 extends Microsoft 365 data retention with Synology C2 Backup

East Aurora School District backs up 2,000 Microsoft 365 accounts with Synology

East Aurora School District 131 needed a cost-effective way to back up data from over 2,000 Microsoft 365 accounts. Their challenge was extending data retention beyond Microsoft's built-in limits without the complexity and high expense of typical enterprise backup solutions, which also required extensive staff training.

Synology implemented its C2 Backup for Business service, enabling the district to set automated, centralized backups and long-term retention policies. The results from Synology included a significantly extended recovery window, reduced employee training time due to an intuitive system, and cost savings compared to other options, all while providing easy self-service restoration of files and emails.
