What would you all recommend as the best back up for Sharepoint 365. A client wants all the Teams, Sharepoint and Exchange backed up. I said the retention policy is pretty good but they are insisting on a longer term option.

Veeam for M365 is fairly widely used.

Have a look at Barracuda. Unlimited retention and competitive pricing and great for SME businesses

To answer the question properly though it depends on a number of factors:

How big is the company (how many users)?
What else do they use to backup non 365 workloads?
Do they want 1, 2 or 3 backup copies?
Do they want an air gapped copy?
Do they want an immutable copy?

Might be worth waiting for Microsoft 365 backup which is coming out soon. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-s...

We use Veeam for M365 and Barracuda cloud backup. A retention policy is not a backup.

I have asked Veeam etc for prices. I know retention isn't a back-up but it is handy for the short term

That might be worth a shout....Edit...It seems they wont be backing up Teams and that is one of the musts. Thanks anyway

I'm a reseller for both Veeam and Barracuda amongst others. They're both excellent but Barracuda became very expensive after they were acquired by a VC firm a few years ago. Veeam's pretty much the go-to at the moment imo.
