Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

We backup our whole Office 365 estate, which includes Exchange, Sharepoint/One Drive. It has allowed us to easily recover emails that have been lost by end-users. Our biggest concern before using Veeam for Office 365 was that we were not protected in the event of some data loss. With this solution, we have peace of mind that in case of a catastrophic event we would be able to recover everything.

We were looking for a new backup solution for our business and wanted to be able to backup all our VMs as well as Office 365 so we could ensure we were always covered. Veeam Backup & Replication doesn’t have 365 backup within it so we looked to Veeam for 365 and it was a perfect project to go alongside.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is super simple to use:
  1. Install
  2. Hook to 365
  3. Select what to backup
  4. Done
It couldn’t be any more simple to use but it can do lots more stuff as well. The API is very useful. We have a Grafana dashboard hooked up to the data pulled from the API as well to give us more visability.
This has happened many times where a user has deleted the wrong file or wrong email and it's always the most important file or email. With Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, we've always been able to recover the item within minutes allowing the user to get back to their day and not costing the company money waiting for the work they need doing to be completed.
We tend to use restore to 365 or restore to zip. It depends on the situation at the time but all options work very well.
Backs up everything important in our 365 estate, and it is simple to use.
