Dropsuite Microsoft 365 backup — overview
Dropsuite is the value-and-simplicity pick — a clean, MSP-friendly backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, now part of NinjaOne. It covers Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams with unlimited retention while licensed, hosted on Amazon Web Services with EU/UK region options for residency.
Its real differentiator is built-in email archiving: a separate, compliance-grade archive with retention policies and eDiscovery search, valuable for regulated firms that must retain and quickly find email for years. Backup and archiving are licensed separately. Dropsuite is bought through providers — Servnet can supply and manage it.
