OneDrive Backup

OneDrive backup with MSP360 is a cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solution that protects your cloud data in OneDrive and allows for quick restore to one of the previous version.

Why Do You Need a OneDrive Backup Solution?

Many users sync local data to OneDrive for backup and assume that their data is protected. Here's the difference and why a backup of OneDrive is what you really need.

Backup to OneDrive vs. Backup of OneDrive

Backup to OneDrive

Backup to OneDrive means saving files in OneDrive or syncing them from your device, using it as a backup. All data is stored in the same cloud, making it vulnerable to the same risks:

No protection from accidental deletion, sync errors, or ransomware
No point-in-time recovery options
Limited encryption
Not suitable for large data transfers
Fails to meet legal, operational, and compliance standards

Backup of OneDrive

Backup of OneDrive means creating independent, immutable copies of your OneDrive data with full versioning, retention, and restore options:

Immutable copies, long-term retention, full restore options
Independent from Microsoft's cloud, protected against all failure modes
End-to-end encryption & multi-level access control
Advanced reporting and alerting options
Meets legal data protection requirements

MSP360 Backup for OneDrive provides cloud-to-cloud backup that protects your data stored in Microsoft 365 with versioning, immutability, and fast recovery.

Understanding Microsoft's Shared Responsibility Model

Microsoft 365 has limited data compliance and loss prevention features, so it's vital to use an external backup solution. This ensures quick recovery of accidentally or maliciously deleted files and aids in data retention and compliance. Without it, you risk data loss and compliance issues.

What does Microsoft 365 Support?

Infrastructure stability

M365 Infrastructure uptime
Maximum uptime for the infrastructure and software hosting Microsoft 365
Data replication
Data is replicated across multiple locations which doesn’t save from manual file deletion
Access control
Available access controls include basic password-based authentication and multi-factor authentication
Physical access
Protection against unauthorized access to the physical infrastructure
Setup and management
Microsoft configures and manages the infrastructure that hosts Microsoft 365

What Are Users Responsible For?

Data safety and compliance

M365 Data Availability
The data availability and access to it is the M365 user’s responsibility
Data retention
Data should be retained for the periods specified by the business need, applicable laws or internal company policies
Internal attacks
A malicious employee could deliberately delete data
Virtual/Digital access
Protection against a third party that gains access to your Microsoft 365 resources could encrypt it and hold it for ransom as part of a ransomware attack
Regulatory compliance
The M365 user should store sensitive data in ways that comply with regulatory policies governing that data

FAQ

Does OneDrive have its own backup solution?

While OneDrive includes features like PC Folder Backup, Recycle Bin, and version history, these are sync and recovery tools, not full backup solutions. They lack key capabilities such as long-term retention, point-in-time recovery, immutable copies, and protection against ransomware or accidental deletion.

Can I restore OneDrive deleted files from 6 months ago?

MSP360 Backup for OneDrive lets you define custom retention policies, including multi-year retention, to recover files even months or years after deletion.

Can I use OneDrive as a backup destination?

Not recommended. OneDrive is a cloud-based file storage but not backup solution. It provides a handful of built-in data retention capabilities, but it includes no enterprise-scale, high-security data backup and protection capabilities.

Yes. MSP360 Backup for M365/Google meets compliance requirements with GDPR, HIPAA, and other data protection frameworks by offering:

Custom retention policies
Immutable storage (for ransomware protection)
