Does SharePoint have a native backup?

Microsoft SharePoint does not provide a built-in backup feature. However, it’s imperative to understand Microsoft’s shared responsibility model. Business leaders and IT professionals should understand which security tasks are handled by Microsoft and which are handled by the customer (you). In fact, Microsoft recommends its customers use a third-party backup and recovery solution to fortify the protection of critical SharePoint data.
