Hello Microsoft Office 365 fans, today Veeam made a huge announcement regarding Office 365 email backup capabilities.

You will be able to fully protect your email in the Microsoft Office 365 cloud starting in Q4 of 2016. This was a massive hole for a lot of organizations that were migrating or had already migrated to Office 365.

Also included in this announcement was the that if you are already a Veeam Availability Suite Enterprise Plus customer you will be able to get 3 years of protection for your mailboxes for FREE. That’s right folks for free.
