There are many tools available to Export Office 365 Mailbox data into PST format. So here I am suggesting you the MailsDaddy Office 365 Backup Tool for creating the backup of Office 365 Exchange Online Mailbox data like emails, contacts, calendars, appointments, and attachments etc. into PST or other required formats like MBOX, MSG, and EML etc. With this application, you can easily Export multiple O365 Mailboxes into PST or other required formats.
Thanks

Backing up to PST files is not a backup solution for Office 365. Anyone who thinks this way needs to reconsider the meaning of backup. Transferring data from a secure, online, protected environment that's designed to encourage compliance and offer super uptime to an insecure, unprotected, and fallible file on someone's personal workstation is an act of utter folly.

Thanks, for explaining taking backup in PST file format is a bad idea. What if we backup Office 365 emails in EML file format i.e. a single email message extension??

I don`t like that idea either. If you insist on using a backup with Office 365, do yourselves a favor and sign up for one of the cloud-based backup services. Given the volume of messages created and used inside Office 365 today with 100 GB mailboxes and auto-expanding archives, it`s not feasible to use PSTs or individual files. And before you go for a backup solution, ask why you need it, how much it will cost, and how it will add value to your business.
