Cloud Backup CrashPlan Adds Integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage: What’s in it for IT

OneDrive Backup

When you’re in IT, data loss can paralyze your business operations in minutes, so recovery capabilities must be both precise and powerful. With our latest integration of Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, CrashPlan now delivers a high level of flexibility and resilience – giving your organization the ability to respond to everything from a misplaced file to a major data disruption – all from a single platform.

A Layered, Risk-Aware Recovery Strategy

The need to react quickly to large-scale data loss events and the daily demand to retrieve individual files or folders are dual pressures you are most likely facing as part of an IT team. CrashPlan’s new integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage meets both challenges head-on:

  • Large-scale recovery via Microsoft 365 Backup Storage delivers enterprise-grade performance for full Microsoft 365 workloads—across Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive—with recovery speeds of up to 2TB per hour (Microsoft internal research, 2025).
  • Granular recovery through CrashPlan’s existing Microsoft 365 backup and restore capabilities empowers administrators and users to search, locate, and restore specific emails, documents, or folders with speed and ease.

With this combined capability, your organization benefits from a layered, risk-aware data protection model, offering flexibility in how you recover your data—and how fast.

Restore What You Need, When You Need It

Whether responding to ransomware, accidental deletion, or a legal request, your organization can now tailor your recovery approach to the incident:

Use CaseRecovery Type

Managed through CrashPlan’s single console, this holistic capability simplifies oversight for your IT team, and removes the need to use siloed tools. 

Built for Speed, Simplicity, and Compliance

CrashPlan’s Microsoft 365 Backup Storage integration enhances Microsoft 365 resilience without adding complexity:

  • 10-minute restore point frequency to minimize data loss and meet stringent business RPOs
  • Full restore capabilities at scale—supporting your users across departments or geographies
  • Enterprise-grade security with encryption in transit and at rest, SSO, role-based access controls, and policy-driven data governance for your team

Hosted in Microsoft Azure and built directly on Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, this hybrid integration complements the shared responsibility model and extends protection far beyond standard retention windows.

A Modern Approach to Microsoft 365 Protection

This expanded capability allows CrashPlan to help organizations like yours to manage the full spectrum of recovery needs—from everyday mishaps to mission-critical failures—without your team having to switch systems or compromise on speed.
