MS Stream - Azure backups and restoration and Intellectual Property ownership questions
I am researching implementing #MicrosoftStream through our #MicrosoftTeams and #Microsoft365 account. I like the way Stream integrates in Teams- we should be rolling that out in the next few months if all goes well.
With MS Stream:
- Do we 100% own the content we create and post? "Right to be forgotten?"
- How are the servers back up in the event of a crash- are there failovers and what do those look like (I.e. in the event of a hack or burn - how backed up is it?)
- What options are available to bulk-download to local for backups?
- Are there bulk sync to local stores for updates?
- Can we remove all content if we decide to leave? Are all copies of that content wiped if we do?
- Can we revoke shared access to videos or change from public to corporate to private?
Thanks!

Found this IS true - FEDRAMP-D Compliant in part:
- For my own curiosity- given office is mostly(completely?) https://www.fedramp.gov/cloud-service-providers/ compliant - is stream also by association compliant?
Microsoft called this morning - Said all Azure content is backed up across Azure servers and they could retrieve anything at any time in the event of a hack and burn event.

- Can you trust your cloud provider? That’s a question being asked a lot of these days, and with the newest version of our popular white paper Trusted Cloud: Microsoft Azure security, privacy, compliance, resiliency, and protected IP we’ve worked to provide you answers.
When we first published Trusted Cloud in 2015, the paper was 13 pages long and covered security, privacy, and compliance. Since then we’ve updated Trusted Cloud several times, and our newest edition stretches to 42 pages and includes new sections on resiliency and intellectual property. We understand 42 pages is a lot, so now we’re also offering Trusted Cloud both as a single paper and as five separate papers. Thank you for the comment, appreciated it !
So, MS can back up all MS Stream content (Videos, channels, comments ...) to a new server for migration purposes ?
Thank you in advance,
Best,
AyoubHaddouch That is what I keep hoping Microsoft will answer directly- but they haven't.
Right now it is a manual process for any teams meetings for example- Even though we don't use Stream officially - I organize it into channels on the back end AND download recordings to our local file server.
Microsoft and these other cloud teams MUST recognize that they CANNOT guarantee 100% surety on backups and recovery, and the rule of backups and archiving - multiple copies- multiple media multiple locations. If a copy corrupts and replicates at some point in time - recovery is useless unless the original backup was accessible.

Add to that in TEAMS there is NO mechanism to back up or extract planner tabs.

- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/live-event-overview You can create live events using Microsoft Stream across the organization. You can schedule, produce and deliver live events for a variety of scenarios such as companywide events, leadership updates and more. Live events enable producers to curate and control the content that is broadcast to an audience.

- The data is stored in its own storage based on Azure, specifically blob and also uses SQL and Media Services - see articles here
There is no current way to access this directly, only via the Stream portal.
Stream quotas are separate from SPO quotas as also confirmed in these articles

There is a uservoice open for importing videos to Stream from SharePoint

Hope that answers your questions! And confirms your suspicions are correct!
