It’s important that organizations have robust backup plans in place for Microsoft SharePoint data to ensure that they can navigate data loss events and outages. SharePoint is an effective tool that allows users to easily create and publish online hosted sites that can share data with clients and customers. However, deleted SharePoint items are only held for 93 days before they’re gone for good. For this reason, we recommend that all organizations consider a third-party backup solution to secure SharePoint data.
There are a lot of third-party providers offering secure backup for M365 and SharePoint. These solutions integrate directly into the M365 environment via API and take secure backups which can be easily recovered int the case of accidental data loss or cybersecurity incident. These backup solutions allow for an efficient and secure backup of your SharePoint data including sites, libraries, and lists, either to an alternate location or the cloud.
Comparing these solutions and finding the right tool for your organization can be tricky.
Our technical team has put together a shortlist of top picks for backup solutions for Microsoft SharePoint based on technical testing, customer feedback, and key features such as backup, recovery, storage management, security, and scalability.
