#spthingaday 034 – Administration. SharePoint Online Backups. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Administration.. Today, we cover some of the options for backing up SharePoint Online content: What you get free from Microsoft, and paid offerings from SkyKick, CloudAlly, DocAve and Metalogix. Microsoft keeps deleted user content, for free, in the Recycle Bin for 93 days. (http://1jj.uk/spobin) SkyKick is a paid, subscription, cloud-based service where you can bring your own Azure storage. Up to 6 backups a day, of all your List, Library and Subsite content. CloudAlly also offers a subscription service with a similar set of features, but you pay per gigabyte and get one scheduled daily backup. DocAve from AvePoint again offers a cloud service with a subscription model with a slick desktop app. They're one of the biggest players in SharePoint backup world, and have been around for years. Essentials from Metalogix however, is a product-based offering. Install this on a VM in the cloud – and configure your own backup schedule. Use local storage or bring your own Azure storage account. All of these offer good quality, high fidelity backup. Get in touch if you'd like to know more. #microsoft #microsoftoffice #microsoftsharepoint #microsofttraining #officetraining #freetraining #trainingvideos #contentmanagement #enterprisecontentmanagement
