Backing up OneDrive for Business

The partners are the customers. The end user is not the customer, ever, period, never.
Right, does it say that anywhere obvious on the site when you go to check out the product? And if the partners are the customers, they aren't partners, they are resellers. That's very different.
-
There is no button on how to acquire service. Only on how to become a partner. Someone interested in buying it is led to become a reseller, rather than to buy the product. What insanity is this?

Sky Kick provide the tool to Microsoft partners exclusively and then the partners combine Skykick with their existing solutions. The price varies by partner by region by solution by blah.
What do you mean "combine"? Microsoft O365 partners have no "solution" to combine with. This would be forced to be a completely separate product from the partners, it's impossible to combine it with Office 365.

Or do you mean you only want SkyKick Direct? I have no idea how they deal with their own partners.
Both. I don't know why Microsoft don't offer a backup service for OD4B, along with all the other services I can buy for O365. And if I have to go to a 3rd party solution I want to buy direct, as I do with Veeam (I buy through a reseller, but I'm still dealing directly with Veeam).

Is that a reseller if they don't resell? I mean kind of, but that's the opposite terminology as the O365 world. A Partner helps you buy, but you buy from MS. But a reseller you buy from the reseller, not from MS. Both are VARs in that they get revenue from the sale.... argh these things get confusing.

I had already looked, Veeam has email backups for this, but not the other stuff.

Here is another product with zero ability to buy it.

I know, I mentioned it in my original post
-
StorageCraft has an offering... but partner only.
-
There's load of 3rd party solutions. I'm also able to Google them.
What I really want to know is
- Is anyone on ML using OD4B
- How do you back it up
- How do you deal with it in your disaster recovery policy
-
Yes. The main file store is on OD4B.
SkyKick backing up the data on 365 servers and a backup is taken off the desktop on a few machines, so there is another layer of backup.
