Hi DaveMehr365 , thank you for your reply.

 

is there ways to have it backup to a local storage rather than another sharepoint site.
Even after moving from the production sharepoint site to archive site, 

correct me if i am wrong, this still is in the overall total sharepoint storage space and does not reduce the storage even after archive.

Hello Winterkid 

 

yes, you can use thirdparty tools to move/sync your files from M365 to local storage, or backup tools to make the backup on your local store.

 

When you move files from one M365 site to another, then yes, it's the same storage. 

 

Regards, Dave

    Hi DaveMehr365 ,


    Thank you for your reply.
    do you have any recommendation for the third-party tool?

      Hello Winterkid 

       

      as examples, but there are certainly some:

       

      backup: your existing backup tool or skykick

      sync: layer2

       

      Best, Dave
