CrashPlan Integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage Offers Enterprise-Grade DR

CrashPlan announced its integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, enabling enterprises to rapidly restore large amounts of data with 10-minute recovery points and speeds of up to 2TB/hour at scale while maintaining control over their data through a single, unified platform.

More than 2-thirds of organizations are targeted by ransomware. CrashPlan’s integration Microsoft 365 Backup Storage is designed to protect industries with high-value, compliance-sensitive data that require stringent RPO and RTO. Without proper backup and recovery capabilities, businesses face operational, legal, and financial consequences from data loss events.

“When enterprises face large-scale data loss, every minute counts. Downtime due to incidents, whether cyber related or other unforeseen circumstances, isn’t just disruptive – it’s a direct threat to revenue, compliance, and reputation. The CrashPlan Microsoft 365 Backup Storage integration transforms recovery from hours or days into minutes, without adding operational burden,” said Dan Beer, CEO, CrashPlan.

Microsoft 365 Backup Storage enables high-performance, full asset restores across Microsoft Exchange Online, OneDrive, and SharePoint – optimized for use cases like ransomware attacks where rapid recovery of entire workloads is required. Rather than managing separate interfaces or tools, enterprise IT teams can now operate within the CrashPlan platform to orchestrate both large-scale restores via Microsoft 365 Backup Storage and granular restores and search via the company’s existing Microsoft 365 capabilities. Together, these functions support a layered, risk-aware data protection model.

• Accelerate Recovery at Scale – Restore full Microsoft 365 assets for selected users at up to 2TB/hour – reducing time to recover from ransomware or any data loss event.
• One Console, Full Coverage – No need for disparate tools; you can manage everyday data protection and DR through the CrashPlan console your team already uses.
• Enterprise Security and Governance – Compliance is baked in, with integrated support for SSO, role-based access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and policy-based user management.
• Microsoft-Trusted Recovery Infrastructure – Built directly on the native Microsoft 365 Backup Storage architecture, this integration leverages infrastructure trusted by the world’s largest organizations to ensure enterprise-grade performance.

CrashPlan’s SaaS solution is hosted in Microsoft Azure and not only secures Microsoft 365 environments, but also enhances user and admin workflows with built-in capabilities such as self-service recovery, legal hold and granular search across Microsoft 365, endpoint, and server data.

“CrashPlan is committed to delivering cost effective, secure, and scalable data protection across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem,” said Randy De Meno, VP, business development and microsoft practice, CrashPlan. “Our platform is built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity – so businesses can stay focused on growth, not recovery.

This new integration represents a deepening of this collaboration, using Microsoft’s trusted infrastructure to deliver rapid DR capabilities for the world’s largest organizations.
