online backup of users email
how can i do a online backup of users emails other than downloading the pst files to local ?
Turning on preservation / retention policy on email will keep backed up because even if email gets deleted you can still get to it. I guess it depends on the goal. For most people the retention policy is plenty. If you need point in time backups then you’re going to have to get a third party solution.
By the way, Office 365 does not provide "pure" backup tools / features for both e-mails and documentos so you have to use the "workarounds" you have in the platform or evaluate a third party product
- Just to add to the guys above, if you are considering a third party solution such as Acronis, AvePoint, Splunk, etc make sure you understand what it is the actually backed up and how.
I dont think there is any single third party tool to backup everything in 365. They mainly centre around email, sharepoint and OneDrive.
