Office 365 - Veeam

[frankive]

There is a trend that most of our small business customers is moving to Office 365 with their solution with Sharepoint, Exchange etc. for a great price.
From an IT-perspective I dont always trust how to restore f.ex an Sharepoint-site etc.

Is it possible to connect Veeam to a Office365 solution through a workaround or are Microsoft Office365 backup/restore good enought?

With Veeam I believe you can restore data to Office 365, but not backing up data that is hosted in the cloud.

Feature request: A connector that connects to the Office365 and backup the the Office365 tenant as it was local.. Kind of ironic request though, i see how many codelines that would be and it's probably impossible.

Hmm...if you're concerned about Exchange backup, then you could potentially leverage Veeam Endpoint to backup local *.pst file and other files stored on local machines

Hi,
Just checking if there is any update on this. Can we backup Office 365 using Veeam?

That's an hot topic, an hot trend and a large change in Veeam products line. I hope Veeam will embrace and develop a cloud backup solution for Office 365, in a smart way as only Veeam can

Currently, there are no updates on this.

I am actually going to say I wish this existed.
We have office 365 here as well as veeam, but I would be lying if I didn't want the warm fuzzy of being able to snapshot historical backups for long term retention & granular restore. You kind of give that capability up with cloud solutions but I want my cake and to eat it too. Even if it was just pulling down a pst on termination and scooping it into my rotation.

We are certainly seeing requests from customers for 365 backups that are existing Veeam B&R users.

As seen on the next big thing (https://go.veeam.com/launch-event) we are working on a solution for backing up office 365 email. We will have a beta ready soon. Stay tuned here

Thanks Frank!

Please feel free to share with us your performance for the initial backup (amount of mailboxes / total size / time it took...) and incrementals after that. The more real-life data we have, the better we can do more planning
