Acronis Backup 12 Now Protects Microsoft 365 and VMware vSphere 6.5

I have exciting news! Today Acronis released a new update for Acronis Backup 12 (Update 3), which brings support for Microsoft Microsoft 365 and VMware vSphere 6.5.

Backup for Microsoft 365

As you know, Microsoft 365 is extremely popular with small companies, as it offers cloud email, on-premise software, and many other business tools. Yet, many companies often oversee one important aspect – they still need to protect their data.

Did you know that Microsoft 365 service does not include backup out of the box? While it may have some basic protection like snapshots or undelete features, it does not create proper backups that can be easily restored if you need it.

Now, Acronis Backup 12 solves all your Microsoft 365 data protection challenges. And here is how it works:

1. Install Acronis Backup 12 Microsoft 365 Agent to any of your Windows systems, i.e. on a physical server, virtual machine, or in a cloud VM/instance:

2. Connect your Agent to your Microsoft 365 using Administrator Account:
