Tony, you are absolute wrong. Check your permissions and you will see that there are different. And believe me - I tested several of those Cloud Backup provides - skykick, itcloud and others an NOBODY can as of now backup Team Data sites. If you check your Teamsites will NOT show in your Site collection under Share Point Administrator. We have quite some clients and I would say being close to 30 years in this industry I ensure and confirm information I post. So check it out - You will NOT backup the data from Teamsites just because the back end is SharePoint

cheers

Hi P H,

 

TonyRedmondis actually right. Each Group and Team has an own site collection to store the files. However, not all cloud backup solutions understand this! Hence, you did right and tested it to make sure, there're no surprises.

 

Sure, I'm working for AvePoint, but as an MVP I'm an independent consultant, too. Veeam, Skykick or Backify are cloud backup solutions, which should provide Groups backup. However, for my current information, right now only AvePoint really supports backup + restore for Groups and since May also Teams (including Chat). I don't say, this is the best solution, I just want to say, try it out yourself and compare. :)
