- SharePoint protection: Transparently back up files stored on SharePoint sites and restore files to a downloadable ZIP archive or to a SharePoint document library.
- Microsoft Teams backup: Back up Microsoft Teams user and group chats as well as any attachments shared in the course of Teams Chats, meetings, and team channel discussions.

Set up rules for entire groups of Windows endpoints by creating policies for backup folders, cloud-based storage, frequency, and retention duration.
- Granular recovery point objective: You can automate copies of Microsoft 365 data to take place as frequently as four times per day, offering a short recovery point objective (RPO) interval to minimize potential data loss.
- Searchable and browsable backups: Backups are searchable and browsable using a library of filters, enabling you to locate protected data rapidly and restore it accurately.
- In-depth audits: Review a variety of activities like individuals activating or turning off protection for mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint; their data browsing activity; and their requests for restoration. Audit results can be exported as required.
- Military-grade security: All copied information can be secured using the military-grade AES-256 encryption standard. 365 Total Backup also allows two-factor authentication (2FA) and permits granular access policies for invidual users.
- Unlimited storage and point-in-time restore: Microsoft 365 does not include advanced backup/restore for Exchange Online customers. This can severly complicate recovery from ransomware or other disastrous events. Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online cap point-in-time restores to at most 30 days, which may not be compliant in various regulated industries or with your own corporate policies. The 365 Total Backup license offers unlimited retention of point-in-time Microsoft 365 backups.
