Create backups

CodeTwo Backup creates backups of your Exchange Online data (mailboxes and public folders) as well as SharePoint Online data (site collections, team sites, and OneDrive for Business) by running backup jobs. The backed-up data is kept in storages. Each job can back up one type of data (Exchange Online or SharePoint Online), from a Microsoft 365 tenant; however, you can run multiple jobs at the same time. Backup jobs use server connections configured in the program to connect to a specific environment.
