“How much does my business rely on email?” is probably the most important question you should ask yourself today, because, in our modern world, where Software as a service has become more and more popular, Office 365 users are faced with plenty of new challenges involving how they could customize and automate their email backups.

Some companies that have moved entirely to Microsoft Office 365 want the backup of their crucial data to be “as a Service” as well. Another critical challenge that businesses need to overcome is the interaction with the Exchange Online servers, which makes it hard to back up your valuable information within an ideal time frame.

But with the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 1.5, organizations are given plenty of powerful solutions to many of their business requirements, challenges and requests. These solutions have to do with:

Scalability

In its efforts to solve many large Office 365 deployment challenges and to support its customers’ demands to have their Backup as a Service, Veeam made it possible for single installations to scale out using proxy components (just like Veeam Backup & Replication scales out) with the use of multiple repositories to allow for segregation of data between customers.

Veeam also added the possibility to have more backup threads and the capability to limit bandwidth. This will help Office 365 subscribers backup their valuable information quickly and efficiently.

Automation

Veeam development made sure that Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 comes with full PowerShell and RESTful API support, allowing users to automate the backup, gain back valuable time and make sure that all data is protected.

There are MANY more scenarios that can be achieved with automation. Deploying new infrastructure components on premises, altering infrastructure configurations (adding proxies and repositories) and even automating the restore of Exchange Online items.

The addition of a RESTful API enables service providers to integrate this service into their existing portal workflows, allowing them to automate tenant creation and deployment of segregated repositories, deploying more infrastructure components and much more.

Supporting more scenarios

Due to the fact that some organizations are already all-in on Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, while others might be in a migration phase, Veeam supported a hybrid environment of Exchange Online and Exchange on premises.

And for those that prefer to keep their production data on premises but their archives in the cloud, or even the other way around depending on security requirements, legislation or other reasons, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 1.5 is able to cover all of these scenarios.
