Back-up tools for Office 365
It's only a pitty they don't backup the Archive boxes :-(
We are looking for a backup solution for O365, that cab backup to a local storage (NAS or SAN) and have the restore capabilities. I have been talking to many vendors and everyone seems to have a solution for cloud to cloud backup. can someone tell me is this even possible??
I looked at Synology today they have active backup office 365. Do anyone know about it, Please throw some light on it.
(we have 700+ users active on O365, and a very active SPO sites.)
The question is, where do you want to restore the data? Back to Office 365? Or are you looking for doing Exports directly onprem? (how should Lists and other SharePoint content be handled then?)
Be aware that there could be a lot of data to be moved to onprem Storage which can take some time.
Synology seems to only support Exchange Elements and OneDrive as far as I could see that on the website.Thank you for your reply Thomas, I think Onsite backup for Office 365 is not feasible as per my understanding right now. I think the only way is to, backup through another SaaS backup vendor who can give us the user friendly restore functionality. We are looking at several vendors demo's in coming weeks. I will post here how that goes. Spanning is what looks fine based on the preliminary talks with almost 6 vendors.
Could you share your insights on comparing multiple vendors, specifically Spanning Back-up? One of my clients wants to back-up (the basic workloads are all they use at the moment). They have an offer to start using Spanning Backup. I have no idea how they are compared to other vendors, in features, trustworthiness and GDPR compliancy.
