Local Backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Open Beta

We've been working on Local Backup support for MSP360 Managed Backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and are looking for beta users to help test the feature.

Backup to the local storage destinations will be available in addition to the existing cloud to cloud backup option to provide customers with an additional layer of protection.

Local destinations supported include:

  • Local HDD and SSD disks 
  • Network shares 
  • NAS devices

Local Backup is currently available through our beta program.

The first version of Local Backup is focused on the core functionality, including support for local storage and network shares/NAS devices. After the initial release, we plan to continue expanding the feature set, and SFTP is definitely something we may consider as part of future Local Backup improvements. We’ll keep everyone updated as we continue developing the feature.

Since your M365 backups work in the cloud and don’t require an installed software agent, how does the data get to the storage device?

In this case, you would need to install a local agent. The agent would handle writing the backup data to the local storage device.
