Microsoft keeps 365 running. Protecting your data is on you.
Under Microsoft’s shared responsibility model, your emails, files and Teams data are yours to protect. AvePoint gives you independent backups of Microsoft 365 and the tools to manage your tenant properly.
Why we work with AvePoint.
Microsoft 365 is highly available, but availability isn’t backup. Accidental deletion, a malicious insider, ransomware syncing through OneDrive or a compromised admin account can all destroy data that native retention won’t fully bring back.
AvePoint protects Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams with automated backups and fast, granular restores. Its tenant management tools also help us keep configuration, policies and workspace sprawl under control across the Microsoft 365 environments we look after.
Protecting what lives in Microsoft 365.
Microsoft 365 backup sits within your wider recovery plan, and tenant governance keeps the environment it protects in good shape.
Backup & Recovery
Independent AvePoint backup of Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, as part of a tested backup and disaster recovery plan.
Tenant Management
Consistent configuration, policies and workspace lifecycle across your Microsoft 365 tenant.
Frequently asked questions
Doesn’t Microsoft already back up Microsoft 365?
Microsoft keeps the service running and offers limited retention such as recycle bins and version history, but under its shared responsibility model protecting your data is your job. An independent backup covers longer retention, malicious deletion and ransomware.
What does AvePoint back up?
Exchange Online mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint sites and Microsoft Teams, including the files and conversations within them.
How does this relate to ASD Essentials?
The ASD Essentials cloud chapter asks organisations to back up data and tenant settings, use customer-controlled backup where provider arrangements fall short, and regularly test restores. AvePoint helps meet all three.
Can you restore a single file or email?
Yes. Restores can be as granular as one email or file, or as broad as an entire mailbox, site or team.
