There is a deep dive going on tomorrow for O365 V2. I'll get more information.

Sounds good.

I really think this is a product more people need than they realize.

I've been using this for a few months now. Tested deleting an entire mailbox (small one for test) and was able to fully recover it. Love this product!

The backup for ODfB is a nice feature.

Admins typically can't even access that, at least not easily.

I can't believe I missed this announcement. I have been waiting for this since we started our migration back in January. I have been using the current version since then and it is very simple to use. My only real issues with it-

No OneDrive/Sharepoint backups
Veeam Proxy service needs to be stopped to copy the backup files to another location.
Requires me to restart the related Veeam services on the backup server if I need to reboot the NAS where the repo is located.
The repo config is what determines the age in amount of years (how far back) the email/mailbox items are that are being backed up. I think it should be the backup job, not the repo.

I'll do you one better. I recorded the deep dive, but my phone split the video into 2 30-minute parts.
