NEW Veeam Backup
for Microsoft Office 365 1.5

You need to securely backup Office 365 email data to another location for a variety of reasons (i.e. to follow the 3-2-1 Rule of backup, to facilitate eDiscovery and to meet internal policies and compliance requirements). The most important reason being to mitigate risk and have the peace-of-mind that you’ll be able to restore your users’ data when needed!

With Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, you can retrieve Office 365 Exchange Online mailbox items (email, calendar and contacts*) including public folders from a cloud-based instance of Office 365 and uniquely back up this mailbox data into the same format that Microsoft Exchange uses natively — an archive database based on Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), also known as the Jet Blue database. You can also backup Exchange on-premises utilizing the same APIs as Office 365, reducing the impact to your running Exchange infrastructure and allowing more frequent backups of your users’ email data. 

You can also store your backups in the location of your choice — including on-premises, in a hyperscale public cloud (i.e. Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services) or with a local service provider. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 even supports unique and localized versions of Office 365, including support for U.S. Government (DoD and non-DoD), Office 365 Germany and Office 365 China. 

Without a local copy of your data, retrieving emails for regulatory or compliance reasons can be costly and time consuming, and can ultimately present a major disruption to normal business operations.

But, not with Veeam! You can leverage the familiar, advanced search capabilities and the flexible recovery and export options of Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange to perform eDiscovery on Office 365 email archives — just as easily as you would with an on-premises Exchange server backup.

Compliance is a big driver for the need to backup Office 365. With an Office 365 backup, you can keep your email data as long as you need — even if that length equates to “forever.”

With Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, you can store data based on long-term retention policies for regulatory or compliances needs. With granular advanced search and find functionality, you can ensure you recover exactly what you need, not more than you need.
