Executive summary & threat reality
Why standard cloud file sync may leave gaps.
File synchronization helps keep files consistent across devices, but it is not the same as an independent backup. If unwanted changes or deletions sync across systems, older usable copies may be limited by the service’s retention settings.
Canada IT Pro describes architectural separation: an out-of-band appliance deployed in your office, local immutable snapshots, and replication to sovereign Canadian cloud storage. The goal is to keep backup copies separate from everyday user and domain credentials.
