Why use a separate backup service?

Microsoft does not provide backup for Office 365 and Microsoft 365 services, only keeps your deleted data for a short-term:

• For Exchange Online the maximum period is about 90 days
• For SharePoint Online and OneDrive it is about 60 days
• There is currently no backup service for Microsoft Teams

• It provides a possibility for backup of all the Office 365 tenant, including either all the services or only the selected services  
• It is possible to back up data on an affordable Azure Blob disk array by Microsoft Azure
• A customer may set up the backup period as desired
• Recovery is fast
• Also enables recovery of individual files

• Veeam Backup for Office 365 license
• A location where the back-up should be created (Azure, another cloud service, own server centre)
• A partner to set up Veeam and provide support

• The license price for one Veeam user is 1.31€ per month
  (Veeam is licensed per user, the number of users can be changed on an ongoing basis and the price is calculated on a monthly basis)
• Backing up data in a cloud environment costs ~20€ per month for 1TB of data
   
• The fee for initial setup of the service depends on the sizes of the project
   
• Backup service monitoring and management per tenant costs:
  up to 30 users - 50€ per month
  more than 30 users - 100€ per month
