Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Premium license expansion?
This expansion adds comprehensive backup and recovery capabilities for Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) to your existing Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Premium license. It covers your Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Teams data as well.
Why do I need to back up Entra ID data?
Entra ID contains critical identity and access management information for your organization. Accidental deletion or corruption of this data can lead to significant downtime, security breaches, and compliance issues. Native Microsoft retention is not a backup solution.
How is this different from Microsoft's built-in retention policies?
Microsoft's retention policies are designed for compliance and eDiscovery, not for rapid recovery from data loss events. Veeam provides true backup and granular restore capabilities, allowing you to recover specific items or entire accounts quickly and efficiently.
