Microsoft Teams backup

Microsoft Teams is a comprehensive collaboration platform designed to streamline everyday communication, enabling users to share chat messages, files, and collaborative content that supports business operations.

Teams are made up of collections of people, channels, and tools centered around various projects and objectives within an organization. Channels are dedicated sections within a team to keep conversations and content organized by topic, project, or function. Microsoft Teams' file storage is integrated with SharePoint Online, where each team automatically gets a dedicated SharePoint Online site to store, manage, and share files securely when created.

Why back up Microsoft Teams?

Organizations increasingly rely on Microsoft Teams for critical business communications and collaboration. Without a proper backup solution to back up Teams data:

• Important conversations may be permanently lost.
• Regulatory compliance requirements could be violated.
• Business continuity is at risk during outages or accidental deletions.

With ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus, you can automatically back up Microsoft Teams conversations in channels; select specific sites, posts, or files for granular backup; configure retention policies; and export Teams data. This ensures your Teams data is secure, compliant with regulations, and protected for uninterrupted business operations.
