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...

Hey Bella, 

 

I don't think that the Technet Gallery is a good place to provide a Demo Edition of a Software. 

Not sure if this is even allowed. I raised a ticket.

The *.exe is not event trusted / signed.

What's happening is that we have a group of people coming into this forum and trying to sell bad software to people who are looking for a solution and are unsure of what they should buy. Thanks for raising a ticket. I hope that these folk are banned from this community...

    yeah. seriously. where is the right info amidst all these marketeers.And why is nobody talking about the tool my entire team has been working on? I feel Mail Backup X is popular and handy enough.

    It backs up Office 365 so neatly

      And it backs up Office 365 to local files (on Macs), which is not what you want to do when faced with mailboxes that might be > 100 GB (and think of this - does this wonderful utility deal with the 100 GB Recoverable Items data that a mailbox can now include?). And I am pretty positive that none of these wonderful "let's dump everything out of Office 365 to local files" products can deal with expandable archive mailboxes...  So, once again, we have another reference to a tool that possibly was useful in an on-premises environment in 2011, but is absolutely not the right answer for backup of cloud-based storage.

        Hi tony,

        Mail Backup X supports backup to every possible offline/online location.

        I have been using Dropbox. I have tried Google drive as well.

        Take the trial for your concerned online storage.

        Thanks for paying attention to my reply.

      Because it doesn't seem to be an answer to my question at all? Your tool only back-ups email on a computer?

        If you are concerned about the small business and the enterprise licences, this tool has separate policies: look at their buy now page: http://www.mailbackupx.com/buy-now.html
        I think that resolves your concern.
