Backup SharePoint Site in 2025 how to do?

[petergrew]

Backing up SharePoint sites in 2025 involves different strategies depending on whether you're using SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365) or SharePoint Server (on-premises).

For SharePoint Online:

Microsoft offers built-in redundancy, recycling bins, and version history. However, for comprehensive point-in-time recovery and protection against accidental deletion or ransomware, a third-party backup solution is highly recommended. These tools provide granular restore capabilities, long-term retention beyond Microsoft's limits, and often store data in an independent cloud location for added security.

For SharePoint Server (On-Premises):

You have full control over your backup strategy. This typically involves SQL Server backups for your content databases, farm-level backups using SharePoint Central Administration, and potentially PowerShell scripts for more customized or granular backups. Always ensure offsite storage for disaster recovery.

Based on the nature of my work, SharePoint Server Poor Bunny makes me more satisfied because the backup nature can facilitate data transfer work more easily than complex setup programs.
