Does EdbMails store Teams backups in its own cloud?

No. The protected copy is stored in a customer-selected location such as local or supported network storage.

What storage locations are supported?

EdbMails supports local storage and shared network storage.

Can I use a network share as the repository?

Yes, a supported network location can be used; confirm reliable connectivity and access control.

How much storage do I need?

Enough for the first full backup, incremental growth and your intended retention depth, with headroom to avoid failed runs.

What happens if the repository runs out of space?

Runs can fail, so monitor free space as part of routine operation and expand before it fills.

How do I keep the local copy safe?

Restrict write access, protect the backup computer, and keep the repository isolated from the live environment.

Can I restore from the local copy to another tenant?

Yes. Recovery can target the same or a different Microsoft 365 tenant.

Is local storage better than vendor-hosted?

It depends on your governance needs. Local/customer-controlled storage keeps the copy and its access inside your own environment.

Does backing up to local storage change what is protected?

No. The same supported Teams content is protected regardless of where the copy is stored.

Should I keep a second copy?

For critical data, consider a secondary or offline copy so a single storage failure does not remove all recovery options.

How do I confirm the local backup is usable?

Run a representative restore and validate the recovered content in its destination.

Keep Microsoft Teams backup data within your own environment

Backing up Microsoft Teams data to local storage means keeping the protected copy inside your own environment rather than a vendor-hosted repository. EdbMails stores supported Teams-connected SharePoint/OneDrive content in a customer-selected location, including local storage and shared network storage. For the product overview, see Microsoft Teams Backup.

What backup to local storage means

Instead of writing the protected copy to an EdbMails-hosted service, the backup is written to storage you choose and control: a local disk, external storage or a supported network location. The protected data stays within your own environment, governed by your own access and retention procedures.

Why use customer-controlled storage?

Keep the backup repository inside your own environment.

Apply your own access-control and retention procedures.

Use existing local, external or supported network storage.

Maintain a separate recovery source for supported Teams-related content.

Local vs network storage

How to back up Teams-related data to local storage

Step 1Create the backup job.

Step 2Choose the storage destination.

Step 3Connect to Microsoft 365.

Step 4Select the required Teams-connected sites or folders.

Step 5Start the backup and review the logs.

Size the repository for

Monitor free space as routine operation
Expand before the repository fills

Plan storage capacity

Provision enough space for the first full backup and for incremental growth as content changes over time, plus headroom for the retention depth you intend to keep. Monitoring free space is part of routine operation, a repository that fills up causes runs to fail. See Teams incremental backup.

Protect and isolate the repository

The value of a local copy depends on it staying intact and available. Restrict write access, protect the backup computer, and keep the repository separate enough from the live environment that an incident affecting Teams content is less likely to affect the backup. For destructive-incident recovery, see Teams backup for ransomware recovery.

Restricted write accessProtected backup computerSeparated from the live environment

Recover from the local copy

Protected content is recovered through the normal restore workflow at the selected scope, to the same or another Microsoft 365 tenant. Validate recovered content in its destination and keep a representative restore test in your routine so the local copy is proven, not assumed. See Teams backup and restore.
