No! You can securely protect all your Microsoft 365 data via the Veeam Online Store, without having to speak to a Veeam representative. If you have questions or need post-purchase assistance, you can reach out to us at any time!

Although the market perception is shifting, it is still a common misconception to think that Microsoft automatically backs up all your Microsoft 365 data inherently within the cloud service you purchased. Microsoft provides great resiliency and built-in tools for all types of capabilities, but they do not provide a comprehensive backup solution within Microsoft 365 plans. There is a Microsoft 365 Shared Responsibility between what is provided within the Cloud Service, and the responsibility of organizations to protect their own Microsoft 365 data.

All of them! Every user in your organization generates data every day, and most if not all that Microsoft 365 data will have value, and your organization will suffer if it is lost. It would be a mistake not to protect all your ogranization’s data. No matter how large your organization is, Veeam is built to protect Microsoft 365 data at scale.

To back up Office 365 data, it is recommended that you use a third-party backup provider or service. An Office 365 backup vendor will be able to provide simple processes to create backups and provide enough scheduling flexibility to meet any RPOs or RTOs. Backup vendors are also able to provide fast and granular data recovery that comes with advanced search capabilities so administrators can quickly find items to meet their legal and compliance needs. It is also recommended to separate a copy of your data from the source, to ensure you are better protected from an attack.
