What is CodeTwo Backup for Office 365
CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 is a backup and restore product for Microsoft 365 data, focused on protecting Exchange Online mailboxes, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online sites, and Microsoft Teams content. It targets Microsoft 365 administrators and IT teams that need independent retention, point-in-time recovery, and eDiscovery support beyond native service capabilities. The product runs as a self-hosted application that stores backups in customer-controlled Azure Storage, rather than a fully vendor-hosted backup repository. It provides granular restore options and reporting to support operational recovery and compliance workflows.
Customer-controlled Azure storage
Backups are stored in the customer’s own Azure Storage account, which can simplify data residency decisions and internal governance. This model can reduce reliance on a third-party backup repository and aligns with organizations that already standardize on Azure. It also allows customers to manage storage lifecycle policies and access controls using native Azure tooling.
Granular Microsoft 365 restores
The product supports item-level recovery scenarios commonly needed in Microsoft 365, such as restoring individual emails, mailbox folders, files, and SharePoint content. Granular restores help reduce recovery time compared with full-site or full-mailbox restores. This is useful for day-to-day incidents like accidental deletion, overwrite, or ransomware-related file changes.
Admin reporting and auditing
It includes administrative views for monitoring backup jobs, coverage, and restore activity. Reporting and logs help administrators demonstrate that backups run as expected and support internal audit requests. This can be important for regulated environments that require evidence of backup execution and recovery actions.
Not fully SaaS-managed
The application is deployed and operated by the customer, which introduces infrastructure and operational responsibilities compared with fully vendor-hosted SaaS backup services. Administrators must manage the host environment, updates, and availability of the backup application. This can be a constraint for smaller IT teams seeking minimal operational overhead.
Azure dependency for storage
The architecture centers on Azure Storage for the backup repository, which may not fit organizations standardizing on other cloud providers or on-premises object storage. While Azure is common in Microsoft-centric environments, it can still create vendor and platform coupling. Storage costs and configuration (e.g., tiers, immutability controls) remain the customer’s responsibility.
Microsoft 365 scope focus
The product is purpose-built for Microsoft 365 workloads and is not positioned as a broad, multi-application enterprise backup platform. Organizations looking to protect many SaaS applications under one console may need additional tools. This can increase tooling complexity when Microsoft 365 is only one part of a wider SaaS backup strategy.
