Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is a separate, standalone product that is a key component of the Veeam Availability Platform.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 supports Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. It also supports on-premises deployments of Exchange and SharePoint. You can also protect Microsoft Teams when the underlying storage of the Teams data is within SharePoint Online, Exchange Online or OneDrive for Business. 

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is licensed on a subscription basis. One to five-year subscriptions are available and customers can choose to purchase the entire subscription up front, or pay annually. Larger discounts are provided for longer subscriptions. More pricing information can be found here and/or contact a reseller. 

All subscription licenses are sold per user (minimum purchase of ten licenses required) and include 24x7 Production Support.

To calculate the number of licenses you need, count the number of users within your Office 365 subscription. You do not need to count the same user more than once across multiple Office 365 services (e.g. The same Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business user = One Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 user). 

Here are additional details for each Office 365 service:

• Exchange Online or on-premises Exchange: A user mailbox can be a personal mailbox, an Online Archive mailbox, or both — you only need one license for that user. Please note that shared and resource mailboxes do not need to be licensed, and can be backed up FREE of charge.
• OneDrive for Business: OneDrive for Business user licenses are automatically aligned with their matching email accounts. This means you cannot use the same license to backup one user’s email and another user’s OneDrive for Business account. Please note that OneDrive (without “for Business”) is a separate storage service and is not supported with this solution.
• SharePoint Online or on-premises SharePoint: Each SharePoint user inside your Office 365 subscription (or on-premises deployment) that has been granted access to the SharePoint sites you are looking to protect needs to be licensed to backup and protect your organization’s SharePoint environment. If you have a hybrid SharePoint deployment (on-premises SharePoint and SharePoint Online) and the same user has access to both, only one Veeam license is needed for that user. Please note that external SharePoint users do not need to be licensed. An external SharePoint user is someone from outside your Office 365 subscription to whom you have given access to one or more sites, files or folders. External authenticated users are limited to basic collaboration tasks and external anonymous users can edit or view specific documents when given specific permissions.
