SharePoint Online Backups
Hi, We are using SharePoint Online with a single site collection and a number of sub-sites. We are at the stage were we are considering Backup policies/solutions. What exactly is the default situation...
- A deleted file or item can be recovered from the Recycle bin for 93 days.
Also in a document library, 500 versions of files are stored, so in the event of a file being overwritten / corrupted, you can restore a previous version.
You could configure retention policies, so any file changes or deletions are captured and retained for a defined period - e.g. for a Finance site, perhaps retain for 7 years.
As jcgonzalezmartin mentioned Microsoft does not have granular backup/restore but you can get these features through AvePoint which offers complete Office 365 coverage. Data would also be backed up for up to for times a day and you would be able to retrieve it at any time in the future.
