Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 does everying Microsoft doesn't!
We are a HIPAA-compliant healthcare facility. Unfortunately, due to the competitive nature of the healthcare industry, we have a high turnover rate with employees moving to competitors. This creates a unique requirement that we keep meticulous records of certain positions. With the shared responsibility model of backups with Microsoft 365, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 plugs the holes in the limited backup options directly from Microsoft. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 simplifies the process of backing up Microsoft 365 data while offering a more comprehensive solution. As we migrate more of our data from on-prem file servers to Sharepoint Online, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will allow us to make the migration while maintaining our HIPAA compliance.
- Scheduling backups
- Retrieval of information
- Low overhead of resources
- Email notifications for administrators
- Standalone feature for backing up SharePoint repositories

- Positive. Simplifies HIPAA compliance for backup policies.
- Positive. Support is responsive.
The IT department started receiving odd requests for email retrieval of former employees who were suspected of communicating private company data with a competitor. Suspicions arose when an employee's email was wiped before departure from the company. With no long-term backup solution available, we demoed the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 product, which fulfilled the needs.
An employee left our organization to work with a competitor. They had work templates on their desktop (which is synced to OneDrive). After a few months, the employee returned and requested access to old data. We were able to retrieve data they requested from a Sharepoint repository well past the 45 days Microsoft offers.
We have not tried these features. However, I plan to use export as a .pst feature as part of my employee departure process.
Backup and retrieval of Sharepoint repositories. We have needed to retrieve files for former employees a few times for auditing. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 made the process simple.
Retrieval of mailbox items. This is a simple process. Fortunately, there has not been a lot of need for this, however it is good to know it is an option.

Veeam for M365 - it does just work!
While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 does have its retention policies and recycle bin to recover deleted items it wasn't sufficient for our needs. We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to back up user mailboxes and Teams in Microsoft 365. Backups are stored for compliance and archive purposes should we need to go back to a point in time.
- Easy to setup
- Easy to maintain
- Its reliable
- Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 isn't 'multi geo' aware - this means we have to manually select resources to back up depending on their geo-location.
- Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 doesn't backup Private Channels users create in a Team - there are workarounds for this but it would be nice if this just worked.

- Simplification of our backup strategy
After reviewing the options for backup out of the box with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 it became clear we would need a third-party solution to backup our data in M365. As an existing Veeam customer for our on-premise backups we reviewed the Veeam backup for M365 along with some other vendors. We decided to go with Veaam because we trusted the product and have been very happy since.
We haven't yet needed to recover from backups. However we have carried out a number of restore tests and have been surprised how easy it was.
We haven't yet used this feature.
Ability to set retention periods on the backups and also to back up to S3 compatible cloud storage
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 compliments their backup solution for VMware and Physical servers 'Veeam Backup and Replication' If you are already using Veeam Backup and Replication and are thinking about backing up data in Microsoft 365 I would recommend Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

Network / IT Support Technicians of varying levels. Veeam seems to require little training to use so even junior technicians seem to feel comfortable using it and management have confidence in the product.
- A trusted product that will ensure data availability and integrity is prioritized
- An easy to use product that requires minimal training
- A product with good support we can rely on
- None that we found
- Our M365 tenant has multi Geo - unfortunately Veeam isnt aware of this so we have to be careful how to backup data regionally. This can be a challenge sometimes ensuring some Teams/Sites/Users dont get missed.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication - so when it came to look for a product to backup M365 Veeam was the obvious choice.
We installed the trial and got it working right away - its been a dream to use.

We wouldn't change the way we selected this product. It was our first choice and it met our expectations, apart from the lack of Multi Geo support.

Change management was minimal
None really, this was a new product and the team implemented it as we adopted M365. No existing processes were changed, just new processes created.
- Defining backup sets to be region aware - M365 MultiGeo
- Ensuring immutability of the backup with our storage providers
Yes, support was important to us. Fortunately we've not had to rely on it but should the worst happen its a good safety net to rely on.
No
When we were getting our environment setup and was looking to integrate the backups with our OnPrem and Cloud storage the support technician really took his time and we felt like he cared about our data. He made some excellent recommendations around immutability of backups too.
- Initial Setup is very easy
- Day to day monitoring
- Restoring a file to original location
- There is no multi-geo awareness in the product - we've had to great our own region collection groups and backup them to ensure we don't backup European data in the US and vice-versa
- Defining backup sets - Teams and Groups overlap you could end up backing up same information twice

Amazing features.
The Veeam backup evaluation shows that all data flowing through our company is sent to a secure location. We collect patient data in my department and archive it using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. For recovering missing data from any system, the system includes computerized recovery methods. This architecture allows for quick document sharing, and the archival disks provide safe workload storage. We would not have been able to protect and govern our user’s information otherwise.
- Creating a backup of essential company data.
- Defending data against computer viruses.
- Restoring data that has been lost.
- There are no missing features.
- From my personal experience, everything works well.
- Veeam Backup allows us to retrieve email just on run.
- On our internal memory, we get a version of the entire email corpus.
- Allows you greater flexibility in determining when the backup process should begin.
Our Microsoft Office 365 email service subscribers needed Veeam Backup since Microsoft does not provide you the ability to define policies or configure restore and durability periods. It was a time-consuming job to recover an email if a user accidentally erased it or limited access to their mailbox repository. As a result, a restoration tool for MS O365 was required. Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 provides practically all usability new capabilities.
We have reaped some benefits. Users have rights and control over their data. Administrators do not have access to it or manage it. With the help of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, we can put data back to its original shape when users unintentionally read messages or files, or in the event of a virus attack.
Yes, this feature enabling reinstating user accounts has been used. Users occasionally want to restore an email from a specific day. Users may want to recover their complete email account at times. We are correcting both issues with Veeam Backup. Also, Microsoft Office 365's typically greater approach is cloud-based, but with Veeam Backup, we can grab a copy of the data and store it locally. This helps you save a ton of cash.
1. We have permitted email archiving during working time. In another sense, backups begin while users are still not functioning on anything. This provides us with two important advantages: a backup of the full day's work and the ability to maintain user productivity without spending on new assistance. 2. When it comes to backups for users, We are also saving a lot of money by using our on-premise storage.

I purchased it to simply backup my important users' emails. I use Veeam Backup and Replication and find the products do a great job; I really didn't look at other products when I purchased this one.
- My CFO seemed to have lost a whole year of important emails. I simply restored them to his mailbox in a matter of minutes.
- An employee left the company but an issue came up with a quote this person sent out. I could search his mailbox and got the quote as well as all communications from that customer.
- It is nice to be able to search emails in various mailboxes without disturbing the user.
- It is also nice to go back in time. Say they deleted those emails last month I can go back years if needed.
- I found the interface a little sloppy; it could use some cleaning up.
- I would love to see a search option to search through all backup mailboxes instead of selecting the date of the mailbox and searching.
- I don't see why I can't change the computer hostname without having issues. Veeam Backup seems to tie it to the license. This should be independent.
- I would like to see a way to add licenses from the interface. Presently you have to go and buy from a provider, then download the license. I want to add five more licenses, and it would be great to select five more licenses and just bill be billed or have the bill be added to an account.
- This product saves me from being in a situation where I have to report to people who can fire me and say, "I am sorry you lost mail, but there is nothing I can do."
- I remember the license was fairly inexpensive, and I used a used PC and bought a small Synology NAS, and it was up and running in a day.
- I have not done an ROI because of too many variables, but in my would, this is low-hanging fruit and has saved me a few times from saying, "Nothing I can do."
The fact that previously our machines didn't keep more than 30 days of backup on them. Availability is excellent in Office 365. Most users or companies do not understand the importance of email.
Years ago, as a consultant, I would ask the IT manager how important is email, and he would say sort of important. So I would unplug the ethernet from the server, and he would start to shake and say, "Plug it back in!" and I would repeat the question, and he would change his mind pretty quickly. People use email to "CYA" themselves all the time, so email is a critical function. I installed many email systems in the past; this is easy to install and simply works with little maintenance. I opened up the interface once in a while and upgraded it that way, but it didn't work. Now, I download the update from my Veeam account and install it.

Nothing on the attack side of things, but again, my CFO lost important mail about benefits from a few years ago. I asked him a time frame, and we have been using it before then. I simply went back and restored it to a new folder in his email so he could go over it and put the mail he wanted to keep back and delete the rest.
I had a litigation issue (sorry, I just remembered), and I had to go back into four different mailboxes and pull all communication with this particular company. Once I gathered all the communication, I saved it as a PST file and sent it to our lawyers for them to go through and send it along. I can't imagine having to do that without Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. It really saved me on this.
Archive - To go back in time and get emails someone might have deleted a year ago and still be able to retrieve them. Adding the mailbox to the backup only takes a few minutes. It is easy, and I simply check my mail that the backup happened as a daily chore.

I was already familiar with Veeam with backup and replication so I was comfortable with it. The only product from Veeam I was disappointed with is backup for AIX.
No eval, I just bought it and felt confident it was going to work.
- Implemented in-house
Yes
Install was fairly straight forward. The configuration was little more challenging.
Change management was minimal
I have a staff of 2 we don't mess with change manegement
- Getting the location of where to write the backups, Network didn't work, so I used ISCSI to get it to backup to Synology.
- PC name change - Veeam should fix that.
I was not offered premium support if my memory serves me well. The only support I had was one call once. I changed the hostname, and the product would not start. I can hardly give an accurate review on that, but I think they solved it on the phone, and it took a day.
No
Having to make only one call to support. I would say that is exceptional, wouldn't you?
- Restoring mail from the last backup
- Restoring mail when they don't know when it was deleted
We currently use Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 for all of our staff and students, backing up to AWS cloud storage. The backup solution is essential considering there is no backup of individual files in O365 by default. Using Veeam allows us to restore item level files quickly.
- Fire and forget - the backup operation runs autonomously.
- Very fast restores.
- Allows us to backup to various cloud solutions.
- As cloud storage is not built in then it is complex to set up the cloud side of things.
- Maxes out CPU and RAM so cannot run anything else on the same VM.
- The solution gives us peace of mind should anything happen to users' data in O365.
There is no out of the box backup for O365 data, should anything happen to users' data in O365 we would be unable to restore.
So far, after 12 months of use we have not needed to restore data other than a periodic test that it is possible.
We have restored to the same location and to another location and the process was very straighforward.
It does what it says on the tin! The product backs up fine, and we love that it can be left to run without interruption with the occasional review of log files.
Also love that it is simple to use.
Also love that it is simple to use.
Veeam is much more flexible than AvePoint's product, and also easier to use. Actually cheaper too.
