Backing up OneDrive for Business
-
Maybe the answer is to save everything to a Sharepoint Site, including personal documents, and not use OD4B at all. Create "personal" Team Sites for each user.

There's less space and will restrictions in share point as compared to one drive for business

I was in on for Miss solution simple it all has to be backed up everything after he backed up everywhere it does not matter whether posted. One drive for business and share point or sink tools not back up tools using them as back up recovery is not how they're supposed to be used yes it can be made to work but it is not the design

Er...say what?

I missed this thread. There are backup options for OneDrive for Business. Unlimited data, retention forever.
£4 per user per month.
You can also have backup options for office 365 emails, separate to the MS toolbox again, unlimited data/retention.
If an end user deletes an email, then deletes it from deleted items, then deletes it from the restore from deleted items window. That email is gone forever. Microsoft will not restore it unless you have pre-setup Office 365 for retention of all emails with legal hold and other features.

Sky Kick provide the tool to Microsoft partners exclusively and then the partners combine Skykick with their existing solutions. The price varies by partner by region by solution by blah.

Not interested. I like to buy direct. I just don't know why Microsoft don't offer a backup service.

Partners are direct. Resellers are not direct.

Because Microsoft's official stance is that you are encouraged to work with partners, probably, as it is for everything else. If you are embracing the Microsoft ecosystem, you get the most benefit by following their recommendations.
-
Or do you mean you only want SkyKick Direct? I have no idea how they deal with their own partners.
-
SkyKick direct does not exist. There are like half a dozen Office 365 backup providers out there who sell directly though.
-
Man, SkyKick's site has NO information. Do you buy direct or from a reseller? Sign up to be a customer and it sends you to a partner form. The site makes no sense given that there is no product to buy. Sorry, looks sketchy from here. A customer perspective is that this doesn't seem like a real product.
-
The partners are the customers. The end user is not the customer, ever, period, never.

Right, does it say that anywhere obvious on the site when you go to check out the product? And if the partners are the customers, they aren't partners, they are resellers. That's very different.
-
There is no button on how to acquire service. Only on how to become a partner. Someone interested in buying it is led to become a reseller, rather than to buy the product. What insanity is this?

What do you mean "combine"? Microsoft O365 partners have no "solution" to combine with. This would be forced to be a completely separate product from the partners, it's impossible to combine it with Office 365.

Both. I don't know why Microsoft don't offer a backup service for OD4B, along with all the other services I can buy for O365. And if I have to go to a 3rd party solution I want to buy direct, as I do with Veeam (I buy through a reseller, but I'm still dealing directly with Veeam).

Is that a reseller if they don't resell? I mean kind of, but that's the opposite terminology as the O365 world. A Partner helps you buy, but you buy from MS. But a reseller you buy from the reseller, not from MS. Both are VARs in that they get revenue from the sale.... argh these things get confusing.
