Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

The Control and Protection Required for Your Office 365 Data

Microsoft provides powerful services within Office 365 – but a comprehensive backup of your Office 365 data is not one of them. Of over 1,000 IT Pros surveyed, 81% experienced data loss in Office 365 – from simple user error to major data security threats.

Veeam® Backup for Microsoft Office 365 eliminates the risk of losing access and control over your Office 365 data including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams – so that your data is always protected and accessible.

Why Backup Office 365?

Microsoft Office 365 enables your enterprise to work anywhere, anytime, without the need to host your own email, files and SharePoint infrastructure. Even though Microsoft hosts the infrastructure, this doesn’t replace your responsibility to backup business-critical Office 365 data.

With Office 365, it's your data — you control it — and it is your responsibility to protect it.

Did you know that 60% of sensitive cloud data is stored in Office documents, and 75% is NOT backed up? Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 gives you the power to securely backup Office 365 to any location, including on premises, a hyperscale cloud, or a service provider and:

Protect your Office 365 data from accidental deletion, security threats and retention policy gaps
Quickly restore individual Office 365 email, files and sites with industry-leading recovery flexibility
Meet legal and compliance requirements with efficient eDiscovery of Office 365 items

There is a clear division of responsibilities between you and Microsoft. Read the full blog post

Backup Office 365 SharePoint, Email, and Files to Any Location

A backup, in its simplest form, is a copy of your data that’s stored independently from the source. This mitigates risks and ensures peace of mind that you’ll be able to restore when needed

Retrieve Office 365 Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams data from a cloud-based instance of Office 365 and backup the data as often as every five minutes in Microsoft's native format — an archive database based on Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), also known as the Jet Blue database
Backup Exchange and SharePoint on-premises reducing the impact to your datacenter and allowing YOU to set the frequency and timing of your backups
Protect data posted and shared with Microsoft Teams chats, files and sites, as Teams data is journaled into Exchange Online and SharePoint Online

Leverage Powerful eDiscovery of Office 365 Data

Without an easily accessible copy of your data, retrieving Office 365 email for regulatory or compliance reasons can be costly, time consuming and a major disruption to your business.

With Veeam, you can leverage the familiar, advanced search capabilities and the flexible recovery and export options to perform eDiscovery on Office 365 mailboxes, emails, files or sites— just as easily as you would with a traditional on-premises data backup.

Solving Real Customer Issues

Veeam prides itself on our feedback loop between customers and R&D. Take a look for yourself to see just how beneficial customers find our Veeam Community Forums. Here are three great examples of how direct customer feedback has led to recent product innovations.

Feature Highlight:

Flexible retention options

The issue: Many customers were completely satisfied with the operating structure of retention policies found in previous versions of Veeam’s Office 365 backup solution, but customers who also use Veeam’s flagship product, Veeam Backup & Replication™, wished that the retention in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 operated in a similar way.

The solution: Each individual customer can now choose between either retention option. The traditional, item-level approach or the snapshot-based approach (full + forever incremental), similar to Veeam Backup & Replication.

Feature Highlight:

Office 365 data protection reports

The issue: Many of Veeam's Office 365 backup customers were looking for advanced visibility into their Office 365 data protection environments.

The solution: Three reports have been added into the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 user interface, as well as via PowerShell or RESTful API. These reports identify unprotected Office 365 mailboxes and give users the ability to manage license and storage usage.

Feature Highlight:

Simplified management of larger environments

The issue: The ESE data storage technology from Microsoft has a file size limit of 64TB per year and per repository, and large customers creating Office 365 backup files can run into issues completing backups and managing the design of a large backup infrastructure.

The solution: Veeam’s storage repositories are intelligent enough to know when you are about to hit a file size limit and automatically scale out the repository, eliminating this file size limit issue.

I found the software to be fast, responsive, and stable, and I thought the administrative interface was really intuitive.
