What is Your Backup Strategy
Nowadays when many people are working from home, backup their data is great challenge. There are in remote location and we don't have much control over their data. In such case OneDrive for Business ...
I don't consider OneDrive or SharePoint to be backup solutions in themselves. Admittedly, both have features which make it easier for users and admins to recover data such as version history and two stage recycle bins, retention policies etc, but these are by no means a substitute for a traditional backup solution. If you want to backup your M365 environment in the traditional sense, then you are best looking at a third party product at the moment.
PeterRising Agreed with you! OneDrive is a file sync tool, but suitable for backing up. SharePoint and OneDrive support version histories, but not enough for data backup. Using a third-party backup tool should be a better option. Check out cubebackup or veeam.
