What Our Customers Say

First and foremost the value you get for the price you pay is great. Vembu is a competitive product to Veeam and Nakivo, yet the pricing is much more pleasant. Also, my support experience with them has been good. They were responsive (even while I was trialling the product) both times I’ve contacted them.

Our biggest challenge was to find a vendor that allow us to host our own backups (both for our own infrastructure but also to sell as a service to our clients). Vembu ticked the boxes well for a low cost of entry and license fee structure and gives you the ability to host your own backup data or if you want to use their cloud storage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Office 365 backup and recovery solutions.

Does Office 365 backup your data?
Microsoft Office 365 regularly backs up data as part of their data protection policy that supports disaster recovery scenarios and maintains the data availability. But the organizations are still responsible for data protection, as these copies are not available to administrators or end-users. While we can retrieve a few lost data via copies from Office 365, the process will often prove to be expensive and counterproductive to business continuity.

Why should you backup Office 365?
Organizations assume Microsoft Office 365 provides complete backup and recovery for their business data. However, Office 365 does not create an independent copy of your data. Office 365 uses recycle bins to store data from unintentional or purposeful deletion, which is time-limited. Vembu office 365 backup provides a secure and assured copy that ensures complete protection for your business-critical data.

Where can I store my Office 365 backup?
With Vembu Office 365 Backup, you can store your data anywhere.
