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. For more details, read the latest Microsoft Service Agreement.

Prevent irrecoverable data loss and downtime. Quick granular recovery enables you to quickly restore data after ransomware, natural disasters or accidental deletion.
