Backing up Microsoft 365: what you need to know<\/b>Microsoft 365 hosts your email and files, but standard plans keep no independent copy you can restore after a serious mistake.<\/span><\/a>Should you back up Microsoft 365?<\/b>Yes, as soon as losing a mailbox or a team site for more than a few days would be serious. Microsoft's redundancy does not cover that case.<\/span><\/a>How to back up Microsoft 365 emails<\/b>Back up Exchange Online mailbox by mailbox, outside the tenant, shared mailboxes included, and test a restore to a test mailbox at least twice a year.<\/span><\/a>Backing up SharePoint and OneDrive<\/b>SharePoint and OneDrive hold your team files. Their recycle bins and versions do not replace a dated copy kept outside the tenant.<\/span><\/a>Backing up Google Workspace<\/b>Backing up Google Workspace means copying Gmail, Drive, Calendar and shared drives outside the domain, with restore dates.<\/span><\/a>Should you back up Google Workspace?<\/b>Yes, if Gmail or Drive carry your business. The bin, account restore and Vault only cover short windows or legal use.<\/span><\/a>Backing up business Gmail<\/b>A business Gmail backup copies mailboxes outside the Google domain, labels included, with several restore points and a restore test.<\/span><\/a>Backing up business Google Drive<\/b>Shared drives are many teams' file server. The thirty-day bin is no substitute for a dated copy kept outside Google.<\/span><\/a>Does Microsoft 365 really include a backup of your data?<\/b>Not in standard plans. Microsoft sells Microsoft 365 Backup separately, and it stays in its cloud. A copy outside the tenant is an extra choice.<\/span><\/a>Does Google Workspace really include a backup of your data?<\/b>No. Google provides redundancy, a bin of about thirty days and, depending on the edition, Vault. None of these is a backup outside the domain.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
