You can configure Microsoft 365 applications to back up directly to the Metallic without installing additional hardware or software. Protect data in the following Microsoft 365 applications from accidental deletions, ransomware scenarios, and data corruption:
-
Exchange Online
-
SharePoint Online
-
OneDrive for Business
-
Teams
When it is time to recover data, you can find and recover as many files as you need, or you can restore an entire folder or mailbox to a point in time. Metallic eliminates "dumpster diving" or rummaging through the Microsoft 365 recycle bin.
Important
For Microsoft 365 applications, you must ensure to follow the below best practices to enhance security.
-
Users must create a Microsoft Conditional Access Policy to limit app access.
-
Users must change their client secret every 90 days in the Azure portal and then update the new client secret value in the Metallic console. You must also delete the previous client secret from the Azure portal.
Provisioning Storage
When you sign up for Microsoft 365, storage is automatically provisioned in the country you select when you sign up. You can also provision additional storage in other regions.
If you are an MSP, you can offer your tenants the option to bring their own Azure storage. Tenants who bring their own storage need their Azure storage account details, such as the storage account name, access key ID, and container name. For the best performance and to avoid paying Azure egress charges, tenants must select the storage region that matches the location of their storage when they configure Metallic. If your tenant has Azure storage in a region that is not available in Metallic, contact Support.
