Lincolnshire Local Education Authority's Office 365 Deployment - Find a freedom of information request

I seek the following information about the Lincolnshire Local Education Authority Backup Policy for the Lincolnshire Local Education Authority's Office 365 deployment.

1. Can you please confirm if you are using the Microsoft Office 365 solution in your IT environment?

2. If so, how you currently back up your Office 365 data? If it is backed up please confirm which software or service solution you currently have in place.

3. If a system or service is in place to backup Lincolnshire Local Education Authority's Office 365 environment can you confirm the retention period the data is stored for?

4. Who in Lincolnshire Local Education Authority is responsible for the protection of your critical data?

1. Lincolnshire County Council uses a hybrid on-premise and Office 365 solution.

2. Lincolnshire County Council's Children's Services are not in scope of Office 365 currently, so they are using the existing Commvault backup product, which we will carry on using in Office 365.

3. Children's Services follows corporate standard data retention policy.
