Our backup solution offers you the most comprehensive protection for Microsoft Teams & SharePoint as well as your most important Microsoft 365 services. With our fast and flexible recovery, you and your team can get back up and running quickly.

Backing up Microsoft 365 data is crucial

Although Microsoft 365 covers interruptions to your services, it offers very limited support for recovering lost, deleted or corrupted data. Cloud backups can help avoid worst-case scenarios, whether it's human error, system failure or ransomware attacks.

Given the amount of personal information we store in Microsoft 365, the security of Outlook emails or OneDrive content is critical.

SmartProtection365 makes it easy to back up your Microsoft 365 Outlook mailbox and OneDrive directly to the Acronis Cloud. Protect all emails and attachments in Microsoft Outlook as well as files and folders in OneDrive with secure, password-protected backups.

Why does a company need a Microsoft 365 backup?

It is possible to secure sensitive documents and emails by activating the save and version control functions. However, you are solely responsible for implementing further measures to protect your data and files. If no adequate backup strategy is followed, backing up and especially restoring data can be very costly or even impossible.
