A couple of months ago, Veeam released an update to their Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6a. If you're starting to use Office 365 and not using any backup software (because Microsoft won't help you with granular restores) just read on. You might have some questions Why would you need to use software like this? With Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 you can protect by backing up and recovering Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and Teams.
If you're a global admin, SharePoint, or Teams admin in Microsoft 365, you can also restore entire site collections from the site collection Recycle Bin. However, if a malicious user gets the access credentials to the infrastructure, it can wipe out all data, including those recycle bins. So without a proper backup strategy with a separate tool, it won't cut it and most likely you'll lose your data.
A good backup strategy must include tools that are usually provided by another vendor. Ex. here we deal with M365 so the data protection is done with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6a, for example. But it can be another vendor as well, just not Microsoft. It's just the simple Eggs/Basket principle, you see..
Then we have the storage question. If I store the backups within the same infrastructure (Microsoft cloud), it's not really a good idea…. A 3-2-1 backup rule should apply even for M365 data if you want peace. Not to store within the same region, same infrastructure, same location… The basics. Immutability questions. Now, there is a bunch of cloud storage providers allowing you to use immutability for your backups (that means that even you as an admin can't delete those during a certain time period!)….. That allows being protected even in some extreme cases that I can't even think of.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6a helps you with:
- Retention policy confusion/gaps
- Accidental deletion of data – this
- Internal Security threats
- External Security treats
- Legal and compliance requirements
- Managing hybrid deployments and migrations
- Teams data structure
