Need a bit more info. As far as user data, OneDrive just handles it. You can even recover deleted files and access file history.
What exactly is needing backed up? Are you only concerned about the data, or do you want to have image level backups for every user so you save applications and other configurations as well?
Looking to perform daily backups of all users OneDrive files, SharePoint data, Teams (teams, channels, files, tabs), Exchange Online mailboxes.
This would be for long-term retention. 5+ years. Thinking of using object storage like Wasabi as a destination.
Hosted MSP360 is set and forget. Wasabi is great but for archive iDrive s3 is noticably cheaper.
If you want data sovereignty a Synology NAS running Active Backup for M365 is really good for a free/included app.
The whole point of a cloud platform is that user data is in the cloud, what you’re going for here is redundant
What I'm trying to achieve is backup and archival of data for long term retention and recovery.
There are certain legal obligations that as an organization we need to fulfill. Being able to recover emails and data from up to 5 years ago. If a user leaves or deletes an email or a file that we suddenly need to reference years down the road, that is not possible with the retention tools MS gives us.
So I'm looking for a solution that allows me to backup this data daily and store it for 5 to 7 years for future reference and recovery if needed.
We just recently purchased Mail Assure with Cove Data Protection from N-able to achieve a similar goal, but unfortunately I don't have any experience with it yet to advise if it is any good. It is an option though.
We also make use of cove. I’m relatively new to it.
