Rapid business backup
Backups are kept out of reach of attackers by keeping them within theMicrosoft 365trust boundary, while also offering frequent recovery points, fast backup, and low average recovery times even at mass scale across Microsoft 365 data sources.
Unlike traditional methods of large volume backup and restoration, such as migration-based backups, customers can expect a mass restore to be 20 times faster according to Microsoft’s research. The backup solution is being offered as a standable pay-as-you-go service without any additional licensing requirements.
As for 365 Backup Storage, Microsoft is offering this service to independent software vendors (ISVs) for use when building third-party backup applications, providing them with the physical redundancy, data resident compliance, and versioned restore points that comes as part of the Microsoft 365 Backup Storage solution.
