I currently use this solution for backup needs, and I can back up some VMs. I back up all VMs and all servers in my environment on VM and point to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365.
The typical use cases for Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 are that clients use it for backup availability. They use it for two main purposes. One is for migration, as they might be thinking that if they are not going to use a cloud in the future, they still have the data on-prem because they are going to back up the data from the cloud to on-prem. The other purpose is that if they want to move migration to another solution, they'll be able to use whatever was backed up to restore to a different platform.
We are using Veeam Backup for our virtual machines. We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup.
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This makes it easier as there is less network traffic.
We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for Teams. It ensures that we have effective data management and integration. We work with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 primarily to support our stream and Teams needs.

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to back up data on Office 365 services and ensure data protection from a business perspective. This includes data from Outlook, OneDrive, Teams history, and SharePoint. We provide a comprehensive backup solution for our customers and integrate these services.
After migrating to the Vectrus platform, the main focus was on ensuring complete backups of email, Teams, and SharePoint using Veeam Backup. Additionally, user migration and porting are essential aspects of this process. There was a need for archiving user email boxes for several years, even for those who have left the company, and Veeam is utilized to export these backups.

If you have any virtualization solution, you don't have to have a VM solution for Linux. We don't need to go through an agent for a physical server. I've only done one integration one time for Office.

The use case is to back up Office 365 data. The users want their data in Office 365 to be backed up because even Microsoft has some data protection limitations. There are cases where the data could be lost, and Microsoft will not take responsibility. It is the responsibility of the users to set up a proper backup. For example, if you have a malicious user deleting certain data, you can restore it yourself. That's a use case for Veeam Backup for Office 365.
Veeam Backup is primarily used by companies already using Veeam to expand their backup to protect their data or who have moved to Office 365 and want to be able to backup to Office 365 in the cloud.
We primarily use the solution for backup. We leverage it for security reasons so that we feel safe about the security of our data. Microsoft doesn't guarantee anything. If they lose your data, then they lose your data, and that's it. This gives us a sense that we won't lose anything if something happens.

As the solution is cloud-based, we are always using the latest version. The solution allows a person to keep his data third party when it comes to compliance requirements, thus necessitating that it only be backed up at a certain place. The solution is used wholly for compliance requirements.

We are distributors for Veeam. The use case for this solution is for backup. The challenging part is that people don't understand the importance of having a backup of Office 365. They think that their data is on the cloud and it's safe. They don't feel the need to back it up. Once they learn about the Microsoft shared responsibility model, they find out that Microsoft is not responsible for the data. If, for example, an employee deletes his emails because he is angry with the management and leaves the company, the company will need a backup to restore at some point. There are various reasons for backing up Office 356. There could be a cyberattack, and there are compliance requirements. Even if Microsoft will protect their data, they will still need a copy of it, and the software will help with that. Some people have a hybrid setup and will not only have Office 365, but they will be using a mix of Exchange on-premises and Office 365 that they need a backup of. The most important part is to have your data accessible and restorable at any point.
We use this solution to protect our mailboxes, our data, and Office 365. We use it in our office as well as for our customers who have Office 365. I use it in a multi-tenant way.

We have Veeam in place for Office 365 backup and restore. We use it for mail backup and restore, SharePoint, and Teams. We were still struggling with the backup of OneDrive, which is still a discussion. We are using its latest version.
We use Veeam because — while Microsoft provides a terrific environment called Office 365 — they do not back up files that are stored there. The files most customers are concerned about are OneDrive and SharePoint files, but they often overlook their mailboxes and the Exchange piece of Office 365. It is the customer's responsibility to actually back that data up, which Microsoft does not do a good job in sharing with you. We had moved all of our file server shares to OneDrive and SharePoint, and we were just over a terabyte of data. To make sure they were being backed up properly, I implemented Veeam Office 365 Backup.

We've been using Veeam Backup for about a year. We get a lot of inquiries, whether it be from our partners or from end-users, who would like to backup their Office 365. They inquire about how to do so and the prerequisites, what exactly is required. Generally speaking, their concern is about how much storage is needed for the backup. Every company has a different backup policy, different RPOs, and different pre-pension policies. We help them determine how much storage they are going to need. That's basically it. That's how we deal with it.
Our customers primarily use the solution as a backup for on-premises because they have nothing on the cloud. They want to be sure that they have the data backed up at least on their side. Before that, the exchange server was on-site and on-premises. The clients put it all in Office 365 and now they want to have a backup on-premises.
