NetVault Plug-in for Microsoft 365 13.2

Quest® NetVault® Plug‑in for Microsoft 365 (Plug‑in for Microsoft 365) increases confidence in the recoverability of data that you produce using Microsoft 365, a cloud-based service that provides software as a service (SaaS). The plug-in lets you create flexible backup policies that can account for multiple recovery scenarios. Through a web-based user interface (WebUI) and automated workflow process, the plug-in offers a centralized way to set up, configure, and define backup and restore policies for Microsoft 365. Through integration with a range of backup devices, your data is protected and stored offsite to meet your disaster-recovery and business-continuity goals.

The plug-in enables Full and Incremental Backups and Restores of your Microsoft Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Teams, and Azure AD accounts in Microsoft 365. Using the plug-in ensures that you have backups stored in an accessible location as part of your regular backup process. To manage the size of backups and accommodate network bandwidth, your backups can include or exclude the various items as part of the backup process.


	NOTE: Plug‑in for Microsoft 365 supports SharePoint Online. It does not support backups or restores for SharePoint Server.

•

Ensure business continuity: With offsite backups being an important part of the data-protection for business-critical applications, the plug-in takes advantage of NetVault’s integration with a range of backup devices. NetVault lets you select which backup device to store the backup on.

To address the lack of native backup and flexible recovery abilities for user data, such as the 30-limitation of deleted email, you can use the plug-in to implement a more robust backup and recovery implementation. The plug-in also ensures that your data is protected if a user's mailbox or OneDrive becomes corrupted.

•

Eliminate backup windows and reduce storage: The plug-in gives you the confidence that your email environment is protected and stored offsite for disaster-recovery purposes. At the same time, it frees administrators from having to be available 24x7 because less-experienced personnel can initiate restores, thus reducing downtime and improving business continuity.
