Microsoft Teams Backup guide

Microsoft Teams has become essential for collaboration in modern workplaces, bringing together messaging, meetings, file sharing, and team channels into one unified platform. As organizations rely more on Teams for daily communication and collaboration, the volume of important data grows. Yet, default retention policies may fall short when it comes to ensuring long-term data protection and meeting business continuity, compliance, or recovery requirements.

EdbMails Microsoft Teams Backup provides a reliable solution to safeguard your Teams data, including chats, shared files, meetings, and channels. With features like automated scheduling, selective backups, and easy restoration, EdbMails ensures that your data is always protected and easily recoverable.
