Hybrid O365 Deployment
Hi Chriss60,
Yes, when you implement hybrid you choose what users migrate to Office 365, you could do it by waves.
You can do by departments.
You can migrate with native tool of Microsoft using Mailbox migration from Office 365 (Exchange Online Admin Center), you will need to setup hybrid first.
Office 365 has license per user if you need to migrate 10 users you will need 10 licenses. About backup, if you use Office 365 E3 at least you will have DLP that can retain your mail.
About time of migration it depends always based on your location, number of items, your server and so on, only after you migrate your first mailbox you will have a medium time of a mailbox migration.

I was told my another Admin that in order to deploy O365 in Hybrid setup E3 is required
but I've not seen any reference to this elsewhere.
I know E3 has DPL & enhanced Security but in terms of actual product Office, Sharepoint, Teams, Yammer etc. O365 Business Premium has everything..
So, is O365 Business Premium an option here?
Hi Chriss60,
You can implement hybrid, you can also add a Trial on E3.
You can see the following links with more information about the differences.
