NAKIVO for Microsoft 365

NAKIVO Backup & Replication for Microsoft 365

Complete SaaS Data Protection for Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams

Software

What Is NAKIVO for Microsoft 365?

NAKIVO Backup & Replication covers the full Microsoft 365 suite — Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Teams. It runs fast, incremental backups that store your data outside of Microsoft's infrastructure, giving you genuine redundancy rather than relying on Microsoft's shared responsibility model (which, to be clear, does not include backup).

This matters because Microsoft 365 data is more vulnerable than most organisations realise. Accidental deletions, malicious insiders, ransomware, and retention policy gaps can all result in permanent data loss. NAKIVO addresses this by letting you store Microsoft 365 backups on your choice of target — local drives, NAS devices, or public cloud storage like Amazon S3 or Azure Blob — with immutability and encryption applied at rest.

Advanced e-discovery and granular recovery tools make it straightforward to locate and restore specific emails, files, calendar items, or SharePoint sites in seconds. MFA-enabled accounts are fully supported, and the solution integrates with the same NAKIVO console used for VM and physical server backup — so your team manages everything from one interface rather than juggling separate SaaS backup tools.

How It Compares

Microsoft 365 backup is a crowded market, and NAKIVO competes here with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, and dedicated SaaS backup vendors like Keepit and Datto. Veeam's M365 offering is solid but runs as a separate product with its own licensing — it's not truly unified with their VM backup console. NAKIVO's advantage is that Microsoft 365 backup is managed from the exact same interface as VMware, Hyper-V, and physical server backup. For Australian partners selling to mid-market customers, this single-pane-of-glass approach reduces training costs and simplifies quoting. The storage flexibility is also a differentiator: you choose where your M365 data lives (NAS, S3, tape), which matters for Australian data sovereignty requirements. Keepit is purpose-built for SaaS backup and arguably deeper in that specific niche, but NAKIVO wins when the customer needs unified protection across on-premises and cloud workloads.
