Edward Watson Principal Product Marketing Manager Veeam

Whether Microsoft Teams or your entire Office 365 environment, it's your data — you control it — and it is your responsibility to protect it.
In this presentation from Veeam, learn everything you need to know about protecting Microsoft Teams data. And get a sneak peek of NEW Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v5, which delivers purpose-built backup and recovery for Microsoft Teams. -

Snapshots ain't backups - Simplify protection, recovery and data retrieval with Clumio
Abdul Rasheed Senior Director of Products Clumio
About This Session
For enterprises, the power, simplicity, and ease of use promised by running business applications in the cloud are compelling. But to get there, you need seamless migration and a solid data protection strategy. You cannot afford to use legacy backup tools in AWS and expect value and cost reduction in the cloud, and you simply cannot rely on snapshots to meet your data recovery or retention requirements. The challenges you have today around data protection complexity and data format dependencies are real. Unfortunately, they don't just disappear when you head to the cloud; in fact, they can increase exponentially.
