Hi, guys! Currently, we are using SharePoint Online servers and our backup solution is a manual migration. Management wants to migrate to Amazon S3. We may not migrate files as a whole, and may just manually import new files to Amazon S3 because the previous SharePoint data usage was not widespread.

       

My question is more about backup - is it possible to automatically backup the latest SharePoint data online to Amazon S3? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance!

How to Backup SharePoint to S3 (Regularly and Quickly)

Under normal circumstances, we will choose the upload and download method to backup files between the two clouds, but this method is only suitable for users who have few backup files and do not need regular backup. If you want to regularly back up a large number of files to Amazon S3, you can use this cloud backup tool --- MultCloud.

As a multiple cloud storage manager, MultCloud supports adding more than 30 popular cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Wasabi, Google Drive, Google Workspace, Google Photos, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, MEGA, Flickr, FTP, Box, pCloud, Amazon S3, etc. With the help of MultCloud, managing multiple cloud storage accounts at the same time becomes super easy.

In addition, MultCloud also provides a variety of practical functions such as Cloud Transfer, Team Transfer, Cloud Sync, Cloud Backup, and Remote Upload. Cloud Backup helps you quickly and easily connect SharePoint to S3, and also allows you to back up files regularly. In the event of any accidental changes, nothing will be lost as it ensures that earlier versions of your files are kept in a special folder so you are protected from all accidental or malicious deletions or incorrect file updates.

  • MultCloud’s real-time backup will protect your backups from passcode locks (crypto-ransomware). Your business will be protected from cloud service interruptions and malicious or accidental data deletion.
  • Plus, all your data will be stored in multiple cloud accounts, ready for file recovery or failover.
