Backup third party tools
Hi,
I would like you to recommend me third party tools to backup Exchange Online. I've been googling and I found a lot, most of them similar. Can you help me with your experience?
Additionally, as I'm newbie in Exchange online, I would like to know how to protect configuration settings such as connectors and rules... (I mean the stuff that is not mailboxes, groups ... ) defined in the Admin. Center.
Thank you very much!

- Litigation/Retention policy can help with accidental deletions. You can also toggle "lock" so that even admins cannot a retention policy, but that's generally used only when you have specific regulatory requirements.

- We try to avoid naming specific tools here, as it quickly turns into a vendor spam fest. What is the business need for such a tool though? Disaster recovery/Business continuity is Microsoft's responsibility, and you can meet most compliance/regulatory requirements with the built-in Office 365 controls.
Thank you very much VasilMichev
I understand about naming tools.
The need is to recover configuration/settings from human errors, for instance an admin user deletes something in the configuration of the rules or change a directive which affects the email, .... Of course I know that mailboxes, groups and this kind of data is protected by Microsoft default backup service, and in more extensive way by third party tools.
I've found https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC/wiki/What-is-Microsoft365DSC which can help to export Microsoft 365 configurations.Jose
