Backup solution for sharepoint online document libraries
It totally depends on what you want to do. What is it that you want to protect yourself from?
If you want backups like you would do in the on-premises environments then you would probably look at expensive 3rd party solutions.
In general I find that more and more customers simply don't bother.
Traditionally you would take backups for disaster recovery ( well this is Microsoft's problem as they manage the systems)
Then to handle the "oops I deleted a file", you can go to the recycle bin.
Then finally the option of "I made a mistake in my document update and I need to get my document back" ... You should have considered version control if you hadn't already done so.
Hi Hajer,
Full disclosure, I’m the Technical Evangelist at Datto and figured you would be interested in knowing about another solution. Our product Backupify has comprehensive backup, restore and export coverage for all areas of your O365 accounts - including SharePoint sites and site collections.
Once you’ve authorized access to your O365 account on our behalf (we use OAuth based tokens), we can backup your designated accounts - SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange - 3 times daily. You can recover individual items from the trash or restore entire accounts back to a previous state in the event of accidental deletion or a ransomware attack. We support one-click non-destructive restore to the original user or another in your system. You can also choose to export data for onsite storage.
Unlike other providers we don’t charge you for storage costs - you can get unlimited retention and storage for your O365 data. We’re also securing data both in transit and at rest, making us secure and compliant at the app level.
You can https://sso.backupify.com/trials/new or you can https://www.backupify.com/request-demo with one of our sales engineers. Pricing is on a per user per month basis and scales to your team’s needs. All customers have access to our 24/7 phone and web chat support.
Any questions, reach out to me directly.
Hi Henry, I am in a similar situation however, i need a backup solution that is FedRamp approved OR we can secure based on NIST standards, does Backupify fit that?
