Microsoft 365 backup: questions to ask before you buy
Retention myths, Recycle Bin limits, and the vendor questions that separate marketing from recoverability.
Microsoft 365 has resilience. It is not a full backup product for every retention and ransomware scenario.
Ask vendors
- What workloads (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams) are covered?
- How fast can you restore one mailbox vs a whole site?
- Are backups immutable / isolated from tenant admins?
- What does a restore test look like on your plan?
Ask yourself
- How long must you keep mail for clients or regulators?
- Who approves restores after hours?
