Veeam Software , a leader in backup
solutions that deliver cloud data management , has announced the general availability of the latest version of the company ’ s fastest growing product – Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 . Version five adds purpose-built backup and recovery for Microsoft Teams , making it easier than ever for users to quickly find and restore Teams data , including entire groups , specific channels and settings . Protecting this data is more critical than ever as the shift to remote working has created an explosion in Microsoft Teams adoption over the past year , with 115 million daily active users in November last year , up 475 % from 20 million daily active users almost 12 months ago .
With 85 % product growth year-over-year ( YoY ) in Q3 ’ 20 , Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has exceeded 133,000 downloads across tens of thousands of organisations that are relying on Veeam to protect their Office 365 data , including Exchange Online , SharePoint Online , OneDrive for Business , and now backup and recovery specifically built for Microsoft Teams .
“ For many , Microsoft Teams has become the centre of our productivity universe and holds valuable intellectual property . But protecting data in Microsoft Teams has been a challenge historically ,” said Danny Allan , Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Veeam . “ Although Microsoft Teams data has its own basic retention , it doesn ’ t fully protect against accidental deletion or security threats that lead to data loss , nor does it enable longterm retention for compliance or regulatory purposes – a significant concern for many companies . Teams is not a self-contained application , as the data is scattered throughout Exchange Online , SharePoint
Online and OneDrive for Business . In addition , the Teams configurations , which include settings , members and team structure , are vital components to ensure Teams data is fully protected and easily recoverable . Veeam is meeting this critical business need with our new version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 .”
In addition to safeguarding Microsoft Teams applications , channels and tabs , and the data within those components , Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 provides the most customised , granular recovery experience using NEW Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams . This Explorer is built from the ground up specifically for Microsoft Teams , providing powerful eDiscovery with the broadest set of search criteria , combined with most effortless recovery back to Teams – making it easier than ever for businesses to quickly search , find and recover the Teams data they need . p
