Office 365 backup mail

Office 365 provides a built-in feature called "In-Place Hold" that allows you to retain deleted or modified emails for a specified period of time. However, this feature is not a true backup solution, as it only retains the emails within the Office 365 environment and does not provide a separate backup copy.

  3. Backup storage: How much storage do you need for your backed-up data?
  4. Recovery: How quickly do you need to recover your backed-up data in case of a disaster?
  5. Security: How secure is the backup solution, and does it comply with your organization's security policies?
  6. Integration: Does the backup solution integrate with your existing Office 365 environment?
