AvePoint Backup questions

Straight answers on backup, retention and restores.

Still unsure? Talk to an engineer

Does Microsoft not back up Microsoft 365 already?

Microsoft keeps the service running and holds deleted items for a short time. It does not keep long-term backup copies you can restore from. Microsoft calls this shared responsibility, and your data is your part.

How fast can you restore a file or email?

Single items such as an email, a file or a folder are usually back in under an hour. Full mailboxes and sites take longer, based on size.

How long can we keep backups?

From 1 to 7 years. We set retention to match rules like HIPAA and FINRA, or your own policy.

Does AvePoint protect against ransomware?

Yes. If ransomware encrypts files that sync to OneDrive or SharePoint, we restore clean copies from a backup taken before the attack.

What happens to data when someone leaves?

Their mailbox and OneDrive stay in the backup after the account is removed, for as long as your retention policy says. You can free up the Microsoft 365 license without losing the data.

Do you check that backups actually work?

Yes. Our team watches every backup job 24/7. Failed jobs are fixed fast, and we can run test restores so you know your data comes back.
