Assuming you have yourself a Synology DiskStation of some sort that supports ' Active Backup for Microsoft 365' – and which models are those? Here’s the list:
I know I’ve gotten ahead of myself here, so let’s go back to how to set this up. Maybe I’m hitting it too much and getting blocked occasionally. This is likely because I used a backup option to get incremental changes, rather than at a set time. I drilled into those and each was because ‘The Microsoft Server is busy’, and a few minutes later it would try again successfully. You might notice there are a few errors in the summary. Some useful information there around what’s being backed up and how big it is. Here’s what the dashboard looks like now: There’s also a little SharePoint Online data from Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams I’ve played around with. This tenant is just for me, so the data set is smaller than most tenants – but I do run a few live things through it like email and OneDrive. I ticked ALL the options to see how it went. I’ve left the new Intel-based DiskStation 1618+ – Quad-Core CPU and 4GB RAM (expandable) running for about a month now, backing up my Microsoft 365 tenant’s data. To me, that’s already a very appealing offering, along with Synology having a good reputation for maintaining and supporting their hardware several years on – which was proved by the 7-year-old DS1813+ I set up a few months ago. After reading up on it and seeing that it was a completely free piece of software available as part of owning a DiskStation, I was hoping this would be a good solution at an incredibly low price – buy your DiskStation and disks, some time to set it up, and you’re done.
