Microsoft 365 Backup is now generally available
Microsoft 365 Backup will soon be available, enabling quick restoration of OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange Online data after cyberattacks. It’s accessible in the Microsoft admin center, requires a Microsoft Azure subscription, and will roll out from July 31st to mid-August 2024. No admin action is needed for the rollout.
Microsoft 365 Backup will soon be generally available in all commercial cloud environments. You can sign up for the product in Microsoft admin center under Settings > Microsoft 365 Backup once you have set up pay-as-you-go with a Microsoft Azure subscription.
Cybersecurity threats and ransomware attacks are on a high worldwide. Microsoft 365 Backup helps limit the operational and financial impact these attacks cause by providing a way to restore Microsoft OneDrive accounts, Microsoft SharePoint sites, and Microsoft Exchange Online mailboxes to a healthy pre-attack point in time in just hours.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 188799.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out on July 31st 2024 and expect to complete by mid-August 2024.
How this will affect your organization:
Speed: Microsoft 365 Backup provides quick restore, enabling users to recover a healthy state of their data in hours instead of weeks or months.
Security and privacy: Because Microsoft 365 Backup data is stored in the Microsoft 365 trust boundary and because the underlying Microsoft 365 Backup storage API platform limits its scope to just the backup and restore operations, you do not have to grant an application for overly permissive access to all of your private data. You also get the benefit of reducing your security breach surface and maintaining a more simplified security and privacy domain.
