Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365
We use the product to backup our Microsoft 365 tenant that consists of user mailbox, Teams, and Sharepoint data.
- Backups are easy to create.
- Restoring from backup is intuitive.
- Once the initial backup is complete, it only takes a few minutes to incrementally backup.
- Our biggest issues is that it won't back up public folders. My understanding is that they're working to fix this, but it is currently not working.
- As this is our first foray into backing up cloud data, I'm very impressed at how well it works.
Backups are critical for us. We knew as we transitioned from on-premises Exchange to the cloud we would need to find a product that could backup and protect our data. After a bit of research we decided that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 looked like the best option, and we are very happy with our choice.
Thankfully, we've not had a reason to restore anything from backup. However, as part of our policy, we do recovery tests to make sure we can recover from a backup if needed. We've tested restoring sharepoint data and mailbox data. Recovering is simple and accurate. We've recovered mail directly to a mailbox and also to a secondary location. Both worked flawlessly.
We have tested restoring directly to the Office 365 mailbox, attach and send, and also a PST. All of these work as expected and are all very easy to do.
My favorite feature is the ease of using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Setting up the backup was easy with the online guide. All mailboxes were automatically added to the backup set as we migrated our mailboxes to the cloud over time. Our restoration testing was also easy to do, and worked as we expected.
