Help - Office 365 Backup Policy
Can someone please point me to the official O365 backup policy(link/document). I'm interested to know the backup policy for SharePoint sites and OneDrive on Office 365.
Agreed on the on-premises comments. (Disclaimer: I work for a cloud-to-cloud backup company. But, FWIW, I've specialized in backups for 25 years and always been a fan of cloud-based backup.)
My concern about the built-in Sharepoint backup is that restore is all or nothing, AND it's only the last 14 days. I'm also not sure what the SLA is there (RTOs RPOs). It seems very similar to the built-in Salesforce backup that Salesforce will tell you is an absolute last resort. From a backup perspective restoring your entire environment because a part of it is damaged has never been a good idea.
The Onedrive restore features handles the last 30 days. If the thing you're trying to fix is over 30 days old, you're out of luck.
Yeah! You have to put things into perspective and think about it really! In some situations I guess that’s a good option doing a cloud to cloud backup! But most scenarios I don’t really think so! You have the 2 step recycle bin for for files, versioning for content within files and restore for the library in case of disaster or a night out coming home and doing some work! Last resort the MS backup!
Very important document could be set on hold Or set as record
Together with good security measures this will do well enough for most people
