SharePoint is backed up every 12 hours and data kept for 14 days. You are not without 'Backups' entirely when relying on Microsoft. I would not do this on every SharePoint site, but with high value content, you could do that and documents are copied into a hidden library. You can leverage the legal hold features if their tenant supports them to provide an additional layer or protection as well. If they are having issues with people manually cleaning up recoverable items folders, or SharePoint recycle bins, there is a larger issue at play as that is willfully circumventing the tools meant to protect from these scenarios.

The native tools you have can protect against accidental deletion in most cases. You also have to consider how the backup products keep up with changes to the service as Microsoft updates API's or adds services that complicate the backup and restore processes.īased on the size of your customers, I find it hard that you are able to sell an additional service at all. Most if not all of them fall short in terms of eDiscovery as well. Beyond SharePoint and Exchange, you have stuff like data in Azure AD, Yammer, O365 Video, and PowerBI which as far as I know are not addressed by any product at present.

Further with the integration, you have complications of some data, in regards to how to restore it (o365 Groups, Planner, etc).

So you can find good SharePoint backups, but mail is usually non-existent, or not that flexible, and vice versa. Most tools are extensions from the on-prem counterpart. There is not a good story around this at present.
