▲ ▼

description Veeam Agent for Microsoft 365 Overview

While not a full replication suite, this specialized Veeam module is critical for modern DR planning because it addresses the blind spot: SaaS data. It provides granular backup and recovery for Microsoft 365 workloads (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive). For any organization using M365, this module is essential for ensuring that critical user data is recoverable even if the primary M365 tenant is compromised.

help Veeam Agent for Microsoft 365 FAQ

Does Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 also protect Microsoft Teams data?

Yes, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 includes backup and recovery support for Microsoft Teams conversations, files, and associated data. This coverage was added as Teams became a critical collaboration tool, and it integrates alongside the product's protection for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.

Do I need a separate license from Veeam Backup & Replication to back up Microsoft 365?

Yes, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a distinct product requiring its own licensing, separate from Veeam Backup & Replication. It is licensed on a per-user basis for the Microsoft 365 accounts you need to protect.

Can I store Veeam Microsoft 365 backups on-premises instead of in the cloud?

Absolutely. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 lets you write backup data to local repositories on Windows or Linux servers, as well as to object storage such as AWS S3, Azure Blob, or IBM Cloud. This flexibility means you maintain full control over where your SaaS backup copies reside.

Doesn't Microsoft already back up my Exchange Online and SharePoint data?

Microsoft provides infrastructure-level redundancy and short retention tools like the Recycle Bin, but they explicitly recommend third-party backup for point-in-time recovery. Microsoft's shared responsibility model means protecting against accidental deletion, ransomware, or malicious insider activity falls on the customer.
