Back-up tools for Office 365
TonyRedmond Appreciate all your advice thus far. I'm still in the search for an O365 backup partner that provides point-in-time restore and a good partner portal - monthly billing would be a plus. A scenario that has happened a couple times with our clients (we use SkyKick) is that their files are corrupted (an extension was added) to all files and a backup of the corrupted file was taken. Are there any useful backup solutions that address this that you've found? I'm currently evaluating spanning but they don't have the partner tools quite ready that I'm looking for.
My current favorite backup products for Office 365 are AvePoint and Spanning. Both companies are realistic about what they can and cannot backup. I still remain unconvinced that backups are needed if you deploy the full set of features built into Office 365, but if you think you want the comfort of backups, try either of the two above.
