“Adopting Office 365 adds a flexible cloud dimension to storing and sharing business data; however, data protection isn’t included. Maintaining a backup that’s independent of the Office 365 ecosystem offers assured data access, protection and greater control over business-critical email and documents. Furthermore, the independent backup can serve as a reference dataset for applications such as eDiscovery and analytics.” – Steven Hill, senior storage analyst at†451 Research
“Veeam Backup for†Microsoft Office 365 v3†is significantly faster, providing greater efficiency. With the previous version, the initial full backup for OneDrive and SharePoint site took about 35 minutes running in parallel. Now, we were able to finish it all in five minutes,” said Preben Berg, CTO at†Cloudio, a Silver Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) partner
“SharePoint Online (and by extension OneDrive) backup times have significantly improved from upwards of five hours to no more than 30 minutes allowing us to run our backup jobs hourly for a greater RPO.” – Joshua King, senior infrastructure and automation administrator of Hastings District Council agrees that increased backup speed and quick restoration is an unquestionable benefit.
