Service Considerations:

  • The Galtec Office 365 backup service will back up all users within the tenant as standard unless otherwise specified within a Statement of Services.

  • All users who are backed up for mailbox data also have OneDrive data backed up. If a SharePoint or Teams site is targeted for backup, all members of the site / Team are automatically licensed for O365 backup.

  • When a user leaves the organisation, users will be automatically removed from the O365 backup tooling and all data retentions will be lost unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Service.

  • O365 Shared Mailbox backups have no cost. If a user is converted to a Shared Mailbox, and the business determines that O365 backups need to continue for this mailbox, backup retentions must first be purged and restarted before charges are removed from the licensed user.
