From Email to Teams: Backing Up Every Corner of Microsoft 365


More Than Just Outlook 

When most SMBs think about Microsoft 365 backup, they think about email. But today’s Microsoft 365 environment is far more than just Outlook. Teams chats, SharePoint sites, OneDrive documents — these have become the lifeblood of modern businesses. 

And here’s the kicker: every single one of these can be lost without the right backup. 

The Overlooked Areas of Microsoft 365

  • Teams Chats & Files – Project discussions, shared documents, meeting notes — often unstructured but mission-critical. 
  • SharePoint Sites – Company intranet, project portals, and department file repositories. 
  • OneDrive – Personal workspaces for every employee. 
  • Exchange Online – Email, calendar, and contacts. 

Losing data in any of these areas can disrupt operations. But losing data in multiple at once? That’s a business continuity nightmare. 

How Data Loss Really Happens 

Scenario 1 – Ransomware in SharePoint: 
Your marketing team’s SharePoint site gets infected with ransomware through a malicious file. IT isolates the site, but all active documents are encrypted. The only uninfected copies? In your dedicated M365 backup, stored securely in a separate cloud. 

Scenario 2 – Lost OneDrive Files: 
Your sales manager leaves, and months later you realize their OneDrive contained pricing templates you now urgently need. Without backup, those files are gone. With backup, you restore them instantly. 

What We Back Up (and Why It Matters) 

  • Exchange Online – Full mailboxes, attachments, calendars. 
  • SharePoint – Site collections, lists, libraries. 
  • OneDrive – Files, folders, and permissions. 
  • Teams – Conversations, channel data, file attachments.
