- 1. Do we need to deploy any software or database on the Microsoft 365 setup to enable archiving of email data?

Was this answer helpful ? Yes / NoViewed 3193 Times - 2. Will the email data be archived across cloud providers with Microsoft 365 on Azure and Vaultastic on AWS?

Was this answer helpful ? Yes / NoViewed 688 Times - 5. I am currently using Microsoft 365 with sufficient storage. Do I still need a separate data archive?
Having adequate storage in the active user mailbox or OneDrive may not protect your critical data against accidental or intentional erasure, theft, or corruption.
In addition, Microsoft 365 includes archiving capabilities, such as legal hold and retaining deleted items for some time.
However, it may not provide the level of granularity, searchability, and compliance capabilities that a dedicated data archive solution would offer.
If your organization has specific regulatory or legal requirements for data retention and archiving, or if you need advanced search and discovery capabilities for historical data across user vaults, it may be beneficial to use a separate data archive solution in addition to Microsoft 365.
