Boost Office 365 Backup and
Recovery with NAKIVO
Keep ransomware out
Gain full control over your Microsoft 365 data with onsite backup. Maintain a copy of Microsoft 365 data offline and on-premises to ensure that your backups are safe from cyber security threats.
Save time on backup
Microsoft 365 backups are incremental after the initial full backup. For Exchange Online and Teams data, the solution relies on Microsoft’s native change tracking technology. This approach speeds up identifying changes and the backup process.
Lower recovery times
Recover exactly what you need in seconds, without performing a full recovery of an entire user account. Just choose the recovery point, browse the contents, and choose the item and where you want to recover it.
Easily find what you need
Whether you need to provide information to meet regulatory compliance requirements or fulfill e-discovery requests, the centralized view of your backups and advanced search capabilities make it easy to locate and retrieve the necessary data in onsite Microsoft backups.
Simple administration
Get a simple web interface and intuitive step-by-step wizards, making it easy to manage data protection for all your workloads, including Microsoft Office 365 data backup and recovery, from a single pane of glass.
Flexible data retention
Set up flexible retention policies that give you full control of your Microsoft 365 backup data. With up to 4,000 recovery points that can be rotated daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, you can store your backup data for as long as you need.

Protection Challenges
with NAKIVO
Under Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility Model, Microsoft ensures platform availability but not data protection. Though Microsoft 365 has version history and limited retention options, these features do not amount to backup.
With a dedicated backup solution, you can comply with regulations and recover data after accidental deletions, ransomware and other threats.
Ensuring business continuity
By backing up Microsoft 365 data, you establish fail-safe mechanisms during migrations and build an effective disaster recovery plan. Create multiple backups stored on different devices to establish resiliency. Then, if data loss occurs, rapidly restore entire mailbox folders or individual objects directly back to the source.
You can also mitigate the risk of rogue administrators by configuring role-based access control (RBAC) to limit user access to data protection activities.
Providing ransomware protection
Use NAKIVO Backup & Replication to create local backups for all Microsoft 365 services. By storing your backups locally, you gain full control over your Microsoft 365 data and can restore it without paying the ransom if it’s locked or encrypted by ransomware.
It is hard to overestimate the importance of having a locally-stored backup since the average cost of a ransom exceeds $200,000. With instant recovery of items, you can quickly resume your operations and leave the cybercriminals empty-handed.
Complying with local legislation
Microsoft 365 addresses legal compliance with the native Litigation Hold feature, which freezes mailboxes to prevent deletion. However, if a regulatory body or court requests previously deleted data, the only way to avoid penalties is having backups.
With NAKIVO, you can configure flexible retention policies to avoid retention gaps. You can also use advanced search functionality to easily find and recover Microsoft 365 items to meet reporting requirements or fulfill e-discovery requests.
Managing mailbox limits
Microsoft 365 imposes limits on mailbox size depending on the plan. Additional shared mailboxes consume additional storage. Nevertheless, with large volumes of data, mailboxes are bound to use up all the available space eventually.
This may lead employees to delete emails to free up space. This deleted data is not recoverable in Microsoft 365 after a limited time period. To address this problem, back up Office 365 mailboxes for long-term storage and future restoration.
Delegating data protection activities
Large corporations can delegate Microsoft Office 365 backup and recovery to specific branches or business units. NAKIVO’s multi-tenant setup allows you to create isolated environments (tenants) within a single software deployment.
Simplify data protection management for tenants and offers centralized control and visibility for administrators. Offloading some of the routine data protection activities helps maintain flexibility and short recovery times.
Retaining former employees’ data
After deleting the Microsoft 365 user account of an employee who leaves your organization, Microsoft only stores the data associated with that account for 30 days before deleting it. However, your organization may need to access a former employee’s data in the future for regulatory compliance purposes or to fulfill legal requests for information.
With a backup, you are able to restore deleted items when you need them whatever the employee’s status.

How long is backup data retained in NAKIVO Backup & Replication?
There is no limit to how long a user’s data can be retained. Each time NAKIVO Backup & Replication backs up Microsoft Office 365 OneDrives, teams, mailboxes or sites, it creates a recovery point. Each recovery point represents a different version of your data at a point in time. This gives you flexibility for granular recovery.

- One user with access to Microsoft Teams
However, you do not need to count the same user more than once across multiple Office 365 services, that is, the same Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business user is considered to be one Microsoft 365 user when licensing NAKIVO Backup & Replication. In addition, shared and group mailboxes do not require a license. Note that the following are not supported: resource, public folder, archive, guest mailboxes, distribution groups, and external SharePoint users.
Who owns the backed up data once you run a backup job?
