Microsoft 365

• You can use RecoveryManager Plus to back up all Exchange Online mailboxes, and SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business sites.

Hardware Requirements

Disk space

This requirement varies based on the number of backed-up Active Directory and Azure Active Directory objects, the size of your Exchange (on-premises and online) and Google Workspace mailboxes, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business sites, and Google Workspace user drives, and the retention period that you set for your backups.

Active Directory and Azure Active Directory backups: 50GB (Minimum).

Exchange, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace backup: RecoveryManager Plus typically compresses backups to a third of their original size. If the total size of the mailboxes, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business sites, and Google Workspace user drives is 1TB, make sure that you have 1TB of free disk space to store the full backup and all subsequent incremental backups.

Note: Make sure that you have downloaded the 64-bit version of RecoveryManager Plus if you wish to backup your Exchange and Microsoft 365 environments.
