I work for a local government organization and recently invested in Rubrik for backing up my entire estate. However, the licensing fees for backing up SharePoint and OneDrive are quite high. I've considered Barracuda and an immutable Synology NAS, but I'm searching for other budget-friendly solutions since I already have Nutanix AHV storage. Are there any software options that can efficiently back up Office 365 without breaking the bank?

Hey there! I highly recommend checking out Synology's solution, Active Backup for Microsoft 365. It's super effective and the only cost you'll incur is the initial hardware. We have over 1200 users using it, and we back up every six hours. The restoration process is smooth too—it's been working like a charm for us!
If you're still searching for options, our sister company offers backups through several vendors like Redstor, AvePoint, N-able, and Acronis. They all support 365 backups easily, but they come with different pros and cons. Just curious, what are the licensing fees you're facing? It might help to narrow down further options!
Just a quick note about Synology backups: they work well, but a few tips can enhance performance: make sure to have a mirrored flash cache layer, use volume encryption for speed, and avoid enabling compression to keep backups fast. We’ve been using Keepit for several years, but have started integrating Synology for additional flexibility.
I’ve been using Keepit for my Office 365 backups, and it covers both Exchange and SharePoint under the same license. It also backs up to two different sites, and they claim it’s immutable. I’ve heard some complaints about Teams backups recently, but overall it’s been fairly reliable for us. Just a tip: make sure to double-check their claims!
