Reliable Exchange Online backup  

Accidental deletions, policy misconfigurations, and insider threats can lead to permanent loss of critical emails. When that happens, quick and reliable recovery is essential. While Microsoft 365 Backup is a native option, it is a cloud-managed solution with limited visibility and admin control. Relying solely on a cloud-based backup managed by the same platform that hosts your data can come with trade-offs. These include limited control over storage or the availability of the backup itself.

M365 Manager Plus delivers a balanced alternative. It provides scheduled, admin-controlled backups of Exchange Online mailboxes, letting you restore data on your terms—whether it is a full mailbox, a specific folder, or just one calendar entry. No dependence on external retention policies. No hassle with infrastructure as you will be the one controlling it.
