Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My goal was to use it to back up our secondary M365 tenant. It doesn't get a lot of use and has never been backed up, like our primary tenant. Although the secondary tenant receives little traffic I still felt like it should be as protected as the primary so I looked to VDC as the solution.

Pros

Comprehensive. Backs up all the M365 tenant data that I want to protect.
Contemporary. It has all the features that I expect in a cloud service backup solution.
Cost-effective: Has a decent price advantage over competitors without sacrificing value.

Cons

Onboarding was terrible to the point of failure. It was presented as being easy but wound up being a miserable experience.

Likelihood to Recommend

From my experience the solution scales well for a single tenant but for companies with multiple tenants management could quickly become complicated, especially if multiple I.T. support people all need access to handle restores. But if you're in a single tenant environment even with alot of accounts and mailboxes I think this solution could work well for you.

Reports of all jobs

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Used At Midsize Organization

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

February 26, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to store our Office365 backups which consist of Exchange Online, OneDrive, Teams and all of our SharePoint sites. The backups run once per day but there are times when we either add new sites or do backups manually right after significant changes to Exchange or OneDrive.

Pros

Backups are reliable, we do test restores on a regular basis and never had a problem
Backups are of course incremental so they are relatively fast
After each backup we get an email report showing what was protected

Cons

While restores are reliable, they are not fast because, in my opinion, MS is usually throttling the restoration of files
If we had a large amount of data deleted or damaged the restore would take a long time
The Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 software can't give accurate time to finish numbers because of, in my opinion, the throttling by MS

Likelihood to Recommend

The software is well suited to any organization that has business critical data in an Office365 tenant because even though in some cases Microsoft does do there own backups or there is a delayed delete, these are not nearly as reliable as purpose built backups. The only exception to this is the SharePoint recycle bin, we use that first if only 1 or 2 files were accidentally deleted before going to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to do a restore.
