Help - Office 365 Backup Policy
Can someone please point me to the official O365 backup policy(link/document). I'm interested to know the backup policy for SharePoint sites and OneDrive on Office 365.
Hi Dominic,
Like Loryan said you can see the trust center.
I advice to have at least E3 licences and use Preservation Policy - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Overview-of-preservation-policies-9c3b1d52-40ce-4ba3-a520-9ae0be15538a
Don't use preservation policies as they a SharePoint-only option (still existing, still active, but the wrong choice). The long-term solution for retention of information inside Office 365 is in the new data governance framework where you can create retention policies that apply across more than just SharePoint and classification labels that dictate precisely what happens to information when a retention period expires. See https://www.petri.com/office-365-data-governance for more.
