Data Backup

To back up data of your Microsoft organizations, you use backup jobs.

A backup job is a configuration unit of the backup activity. A backup job defines a list of users, groups, sites, teams, and organizations to back up, a location where to store backups, a schedule according to which new backups must be created. The first backup job session always produces a full backup of all objects added to a backup job scope. Subsequent backup job sessions are incremental — Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 processes only those objects that have changed since the last backup job session.

If you back up data of you Microsoft organizations to an object storage repository, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows you to prohibit deletion of data from the object storage repository by making that data temporarily immutable and to protect data against malware activity. For more information about protecting data in backups, see Immutability.
