Back-up tools for Office 365

Started this question a while back on Yammer. What tools do you use to back-up mail and files stored in Office 365?   The fact that your files are back-upped inside and outside the datacenters of...

When it comes to backup Office 365 Backup solutions there you can easily get more than 100 3rd party tool to backup. Among them, each has there own pros and cons. The one I liked was SysTools Office 365 backup & restore tool that helped me to create the backup of office 365 to PST and EML format. This tool is the cheapest tool in the list and one can easily test this utility by downloading the free demo version.

Hi Stephen Mag,

 

Your contribution is appreciated! :-) 

 

I think the main issue in this topic is that all the tools we find are only partial able to back-up data. Of course, for many companies files and email are still the most important types of data. But as we move more and more to the other tools, we need a back-up tool we can install now and that covers everything across Office 365, not just files and email. We don't want to change back-up tools every year :-)

    Hi Michiel van den Broek

    Yes, I agree with you but investing $19 on SysTools Office 365 Backup & Restore for the unlimited period of time is not a bad idea as it can be useful in various scenarios. Also, it covers most of the things like backup office 365 files, mailboxes, contacts, calendars, manage multiple users accounts, export to PST and EML format, import multiple pst file to office 365.

      Stephen, don't you work for SysTools? At least... that's what your profile indicates.

       

       

      And if so, why would I not be surprised that you would advocate spending money on a tool that is utterly useless as an Office 365 backup program (in all but some limited circumstances). 

       

      But then again, isn't it also true that SysTools spends a great deal of time and energy pushing its tools to anyone who will listen using social networks and other forums? 

       

      Just wondering...

        Hi, TonyRedmond 

        This thread was started with a query:

        "Started this question a while back on Yammer. What tools do you use to backup mail and files stored in Office 365?"

        I m not giving any false statement here. I shared my point of view as I tested this tool personally. Here, in this thread, I just explained its features that what it can do.

        No one is pushing anyone to buy their tools. It's up to them that what they want they are getting. 

         

        Thanks & Regards 

        Stephen
