We're about to roll out 365 to all our users. Exchange Online mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint.

What solutions for backing up and restoring the data are you experienced with, and would recommend?

We currently use Veeam for VM backup, but their solution is a totally different product, not integrated with VBR. So since a separate product would have to be licensed and installed, we aren't necessarily locked in to using Veeam for that too.

Thanks in advance.

My company uses Acronis M365 Backup Protection.

I believe it was selected because the licensing options and costs were much better than Veeam's offering.

To be honest I can't comment much further - it was set up by a colleague, it runs in a different country, and I've never needed to do a restore from it because I've always been able to recover lost files/emails from the recycle bin/recoverable items.

It's more of an insurance policy against ransomware or other malware than anything else. It's good to have, but not used day to day.

Although that does remind me that we are probably due a test restore. I'll add that to the list for this month. Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜‰
