AvePoint Microsoft 365 backup — overview
AvePoint Cloud Backup, part of the AvePoint Confidence Platform, has the broadest coverage of any solution we compare. Beyond the core Microsoft 365 workloads it also protects Entra ID, Dynamics 365, the Power Platform and Dataverse, Salesforce and Google Workspace — so one backup can span your whole SaaS estate rather than M365 alone.
Backups run up to four times a day into immutable, geo-distributed Microsoft Azure storage, with one-click and Express Recovery to get users productive fast. AvePoint is a long-standing Microsoft partner, and its Cloud Backup is listed on the UK Government G-Cloud framework — a frequent deciding factor for public-sector and regulated buyers.
