Microsoft 365 and Entra ID Backup

Protect your Microsoft 365 email, files, Teams, and identities with dedicated backup and rapid recovery

Why do Microsoft 365 and Entra ID need to be protected?

Microsoft guarantees platform availability, but not the recovery of your data. Accidental deletions, ransomware attacks, departing employees, and the limited retention of emails, files, Teams chats, and Entra ID identities remain your responsibility. A dedicated backup is the only way to truly recover them.

Shared responsability model M365

FAQ

Does Microsoft 365 already include backup?

No. Microsoft applies the shared responsibility model: it guarantees the platform, but recovering your data after deletions, errors, or attacks remains your responsibility.

Why back up Entra ID?

Users, groups, and identity configurations are critical, especially if you use Entra ID for Single Sign-On. Microsoft keeps audit logs for only 30 days: with a dedicated backup, you can restore identities and configurations whenever you need to.

Veeam Data Cloud or Acronis: which is better?

It depends on the scenario: VDC offers a choice of two backup technologies, configurable retention, and faster restore times, while Acronis has a strong multi-tenant focus for MSPs.

Where does backup data go?

On the vendor's infrastructure: Veeam Data Cloud on Microsoft Azure (Italy region available), Acronis in data centers in Frankfurt or Rome.
