Providing backups of our user shared data space that is utilized for file collaborations and access. In that environment, there exists the possibility for accidental or deliberate removal or alteration of files in a manner detrimental to our buisness. Veeam provides us with a fall-back for those files now that they are in 365, similar to to the fall-back we had when the files were on a local file server in the past.

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to protect our entire organization. We need an extra copy of all data in an immutable storage container. While the product can not backup directly to immutable storage, it can backup to regular blob storage and make an immutable copy in another bucket. This provides coverage in the event of accidental deletion and or need of data recovery.

We use Veeam Backup for O365 to accomplish compliancy with our cyber risk insurance and to protect the integrity of our data. Before, we had no way of recovering emails or sharepoint data outside of the default retention and recovery methods that were provided by Microsoft. We also cannot satisfy the needs to allow for recover in case of a ransomware attack against our exchange environment, rare but possible.

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 along with our Veeam Backup and Repository to backup our information. We are in process of moving into Azure/Microsoft 365 and now need a way to backup OneDrive, Sharepoint, Teams, etc.

We use it to backup email, sharepoint and onedrive to Azure Blob. We back up all our users' resources in Australia, Asia and Europe. This allows us to restore any of the above resources in case of data loss in Microsoft 365. Great software. I really recommend it, really really really really really recommend it.

We are currently using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to backup our whole M365 environment. Currently the only business need this addresses is a "feel good" blanket for leadership. In the event we have to perform an actual restore of our libraries, sites, etc. we are going to be in trouble as we heavily rely on tagging and this solution doesn't seem to restore these when completing a restore. Re-adding these tags will be tedious at best even when scripting it.

We have a mixture of on-premise servers, Azure, and O365 so we needed a solution that would backup all of those environments. It also needed the ability to offload the backups to removable media for off-site storage.

We need to backup our Office 365 environment for a longer retention period than what Microsoft offers so we use Veeam Backup for office 365 every day to backup our environment. We also use it to backup our subsidiaries environments also every night. It is easy to use and a life saver.

Our business needed granular restore functionality of our Microsoft 365 products. In particular, we have hosted mailboxes with Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams data. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 handles all of these extremely effectively.

It is a standalone product unrelated to Veeam Backup and Recovery, so you don't need to have any investment in the Veeam product line to take advantage of it. Both local and object storage-based backup repositories are supported. Once your initial backup is completed, all future backups are done incrementally in a very fast and efficient manner. Due to the efficient storage of backup data, I have point in time backups going back several years since we started using the product with surprisingly little storage used. We can granularly restore individual items using the explorers for Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. The restoration options are very flexible, for instance we can restore one or more messages from an Exchange mailbox to the original mailbox, PST file, individual msg file, or email it to someone.

The only difficulty someone may have in setting it up is the object storage, but there is excellent documentation to walk you through it.

We're very happy with it.

We used Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to back all data used in their office applications, such as Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and OneNote. The business problems that this helps us solve is data loss. We have users that accidentally delete items. It also helps us in the event of a bad actor.

We use Veeam to backup a variety of dedicated servers and virtual machines. We originally started using Veeam to replace an on premise backup solution that wasn't providing us with the features we needed. Veeam ended up being the best solution for our company. Right now we use Veeam to backup roughly 90% of our resources.

We exclusively use Microsoft 365 products for email, unified communications, and cloud storage solutions. These are the most critical systems for our business and we cannot afford to lose the data they contain. While Microsoft offers some degree of backup within Microsoft 365, it is lacking for our business needs. We need a more robust solution that is separate from Microsoft. If an issue arises with one of their services, we need to have a completely independent backup copy of all that data.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is used in our environment to back up SharePoint and OneDrive. We made the decision not to back up Microsoft Teams. This grants us the ability to restore user files and sites.

We use it to backup critical business data that resides in M365, mostly specific sites and document libraries in SharePoint Online, but also all of our Exchange Online mailbox data - it's 'our' responsibility to backup our data as explained in the M365 services agreement. We have in fact had to rely on it at least once as M365 actually lost some of our data during a 'routine data migration'...

Veeam Backup allows for quick recovery when users delete emails that they meant to keep. The application is simple to set up and just works. I would recommend this to anyone who is using the hard-to-hide-from Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

In our organization, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 used to be critical component of our data protection strategy. This solution addressed key business problems by ensured data protection, compliance adherence, and business continuity. It safeguarded our Office 365 data, including emails, files, and documents, offering rapid recovery options for any data loss incidents. However, we found an alternative service that better met our needs.

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.
