The Comprehensive Microsoft 365 Backup Solution
Do you have the right backup system for your Microsoft 365 data?
Is your Microsoft 365 data really secure?
What’s missing from standard backups
Microsoft keeps copies of M365 items in the cloud, but in order to fully satisfy the 3-2-1 Rule, organisations should keep at least one additional copy elsewhere (off site from the Microsoft 365 data centre). To accomplish this, Veeam has built a tool to allow cloud-based email data to be backed up on premises to a Veeam Backup & Replication™ repository.
The key challenge that Microsoft 365 Backup solves:
Because of the massive scale of Microsoft 365, there is a limit to how long Microsoft keeps deleted emails (typically 30 days by default). In other words, if an end user deletes an item in M365 and needs to recover it 31 days later, they may not be able to use native Microsoft 365 tools. Our Backup options for Microsoft 365 allows administrators to back up all messages to an on-premises Backup & Replication repository for long-term archival, search and restore.
More storage – less cost
Cost savings are also attainable since Microsoft charges by space used in an M365 mailbox. If users need more space because old items are being saved in their mailbox, the organisation may have to move up to a more expensive plan. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows those businesses to archive old data out of a user’s online mailbox and onto inexpensive on-premises storage.
Bottom line, businesses can save by not needing to purchase more mailbox space. They can simply archive old data out of the online mailbox onto inexpensive on-premises storage.
Backup for Microsoft 365 key components:
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365
This is the component that retrieves mailbox items from a cloud-based instance of Microsoft 365 and backs up those items into an archive database based on Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), also known as the Jet Blue database (the same database used by Microsoft Exchange itself) — making it fully compatible with Veeam Explorer™ for Microsoft Exchange.
Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange
This feature, available in all editions of Veeam Backup & Replication, allows for quick search, eDiscovery and recovery of individual mailbox items from both the archived Microsoft 365 content as well as on-premises Exchange backups. Mailbox item recovery can be done directly back to an M365 mailbox or to an on-premises Exchange mailbox. Alternatively, recovered items can be saved as a file, emailed as an attachment or exported as a PST.
Veeam Backup & Replication Integration
Veeam Backup & Replication supports application-aware processing of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 servers, allowing you to create consistent backups of your M365 archives and streamline mailbox item-level restores from such backups
