1.1 General description of Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 service

Backing up Microsoft 365 applications is your responsibility.

The Backup for Microsoft 365 service allows you to protect (via backup) your organization's Microsoft 365 services:
  • Exchange Online
  • SharePoint Online
  • OneDrive for Business
  • Microsoft Teams [1]
  1. Microsoft Teams includes the Teams chat service which may or may not be included in the data to be protected. The backup service for Teams chats involves additional costs that the customer must bear and therefore implies the subscription of a separate contract directly with Microsoft.
In just a few simple configuration steps, you can decide:
  • which groups and users to apply the backups to;
  • which elements (folders and files) to protect;
  • who to assign the role of restore operator.
