Depending on how these guys calculate users, we may have exceeded that number too. Community only goes up to 1TB of data, which we have already technically exceeded. What are your thoughts on my approach here?Ī little. This method would also allow us to access our data even in the unlikely event that OneDrive is not available for any reason or if accounts are somehow compromised and we get locked out. We would pay for the basically free forever version history feature of Backblaze to meet any possible data retention policies I may have to comply with that I don't know about. In the event of a ransomware attack, even though the local copies would eventually be encrypted as the changes trickled in, I could wipe any affected systems and restore 100% of our data to prior to the attack.

Then Backblaze would backup up that whole computer and the drive with all the SharePoint/OneDrive data. To do this, I would build/buy a low power desktop (probably a Mac mini), connect it to a drive enclosure or use its local storage and sync all document libraries locally. I recently discovered Backblaze and have considered using it as our primary backup.

The only real means is to download copies of your whole libraries and archive them, the problem with that is the storage requirements quickly balloon out of control and the process is entirely manual. Unfortunately, OneDrive does not really have any backup tools built in. While the chances of data loss or data breach are low (we use 2FA, only myself and 1 other coworker have admin access to anything, and OneDrive has great protections against mass deletion and ransomware) I would still like to host a backup of some sort. All in all, we have approximately 1TB of data that has been generated since I deployed M365. Info such as client contracts, payroll info, etc. Not only are inspection related documents stored in SharePoint/OneDrive, sensitive company info is as well. While most of our production data is duplicated on other services (we have two programs we use to do surveys/run reports) the original data (floor plans, photo, excel matrices, and field notes) are all stored in our various SharePoint libraries. We mostly use the SharePoint/OneDrive features of Microsoft 365, being able to do file collaboration in the field is extremely important, so OneDrive or other cloud sync services are literally the only way we can do our inspections. I have maintained and deployed Microsoft 365 for us coming up on 3 years ago. Hello all, for some context, I am my works sole IT guy.
