Why Microsoft Teams needs a third-party backup
Microsoft's shared responsibility model leaves a critical gap in Microsoft Teams backup: while they maintain infrastructure availability, you're responsible for protecting your Teams data.
Teams does not provide customer-controlled backups
Teams’ data retention requires manual configuration and varies by content type
No granular recovery for specific conversations or files in Teams
