Protecting your data no matter where it lives has always been a key focus of Druva’s product roadmap. That’s why we are excited to announce that Druva is introducing support for Microsoft 365 Backup Storage and previewing its upcoming support for Dynamics 365 backup. This adds to the lineup of our existing support for several Microsoft products such as Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure VMs, and Windows devices. With the Druva Data Security Cloud, now you can safeguard all critical elements of your Microsoft ecosystem with a single, unified solution.
What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Why Safeguard Its Data With Druva?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a cloud-based suite of business applications that integrates CRM and ERP capabilities to help organizations manage operations, sales, customer service, and marketing. These applications enable you to build, run, and grow your business. As critical business functions start relying on Microsoft Dynamics 365, safeguarding this data becomes essential.
Although Microsoft offers a native solution to back up Dynamics 365 data, its inability to make granular recoveries and limited retention periods leave businesses vulnerable to data loss, compliance issues, and operational inefficiencies.
Druva's data protection solution for Dynamics 365 (GA in early 2025) addresses these challenges by delivering advanced capabilities such as granular restoration of entities, records, and metadata — and potentially most importantly, flexible retention policies beyond the rigid 28-day limits of native Dynamics 365. This expanded retention is crucial for organizations needing to meet strict compliance requirements.
With Druva, customers seamlessly manage backups, restore to production or sandbox environments, and optimize operational efficiency with automated workflows. Explore the benefits below.
With Druva for Dynamics 365, customers receive:
Granular recovery: Restore with flexibility. Organizations benefit from granular recovery options that enable precise restoration of individual entities, records, and metadata, minimizing downtime.
Long-term retention: Break free from 28-day limits (7 for sandbox). With Druva, customize retention policies to comply with the strictest regulations.
Search and compare: Quickly search to compare specific timestamps and records to identify changes and suspected anomalies.
Restore to sandbox or production: Restore data to a sandbox for testing or directly to your production environment — ensure the restoration of clean data only, and prevent reinfection.
