SharePoint Online Backups

#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.
