D365 Backup Strategy

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 200
Since moving to Microsoft D365 in the cloud, our approach to backing up the system has changed from the traditional weekly/monthly/annual approach. Microsoft backs up more often, but only stores the backup for 28 days.
 
I'm interested in learning how other companies handle this change and how to approach this discussion with Senior Management.
 
Are there third-party backup solutions available for D365, or should we simply accept the Microsoft solution and feel safer because of its secure and robust data center?

    Hi Peter,

    28 days history for a backup should be sufficient. You only need a backup in case of emergencies or when moving data to a non-production environment, Why would you need data that is e.g. 4 months old? In case you need some more backups, there is an option to create a manual backup in LCS. This is possible by restoring point in time into a sandbox and then export the database.

    Hi,
     
    To take the dataverse backup of Dynamics 365, there is a way to maintain a mirror of data by using the Azure Synapse Link to connect your Microsoft Dataverse data to Azure Synapse Analytics to explore your data and accelerate time to insight. Please refer the below Microsoft article for more details.
