I have several customers that are using Sharepoint online shared document libraries somewhat like a file server shared folder. Some have the sharepoint folder mapped to thier windows pc as a mapped drive so they can browse files like it was a network share.
For the most part this works well, but I have concerns
#1 concern is....What happens if a user gets infected with a ransomeware encryption virus? I assume that windows would see the mapped drive and encrypt everything in the shairpoint library??
Is there a good way to back this data up that includes versioning and monthly quarterly and or yearly archives like i could in a trational file server environment? If so how do I do it and what do I use.
Right now the only option i can comeone wiht is to use the new onedrive sync to sync all the data back to a local pc and then backup up that pc with tools that provide this kind of functionality.
Anyone have ideas?

Agreed. Better than nothing, though...

Am I correct that if for some reasons, OneDrive files are corrpted (ransomwere) We can request Microsoft to restore the OneDrive Site Collection for a particular user with 14 days?
Thanks,

During the Ignite there was an announchement that users can restore their OneDrive. For example after a Ransomware attack. By the end of this year it is available.

I read your 2017 post MS conference reply regarding MS Sharepoint and OneDrive back up protocol and was curious if this process has been made easier since then? Thank you!
