There are various Microsoft Office applications such as Exchange Online, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint. Each of these apps creates different data types, and for example, a SharePoint file is saved and stored differently to an email in Exchange Online.
Microsoft 365 is essentially a combination of different SaaS apps rather than one single SaaS app. This means that the Cloud Backup for Office 365 need to integrate data that comes from several apps or APIs. In simple terms, APIs can be described as messengers; they allow different web apps to communicate and share data.
The following Microsoft 365 applications can be backed up:
- Exchange Online, including mailboxes, shared mailboxes, folders, calendars, contacts and tasks
- OneDrive for Business including all files and folders
- SharePoint including site collections, document libraries, lists, views, permissions
- Teams’ including channels, files and tasks
