The end user is _<i>always</i>_ responsible for backing up their data no matter where the data lies.<br />

Veeam Backup &amp;&nbsp;Replication for Office 365 is the best for that.

We are looking to move files from our on premises file servers to SharePoint. &nbsp;We want to have 100% cloud storage over the next year or so. Moving files to SharePoint would be our first step into that process. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Do I need to backup the SharePoint files/folders to Azure? &nbsp;I know SharePoint has revision history so users can see previous versions of files in case a file gets overwritten by mistake. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Does SharePoint have a recycle bin for deleted files? <br />
<br />
Does Microsoft provide redundancy for our SharePoint site in case they (Microsoft) have a failure? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any comments/suggestions about using SharePoint for file storage is appreciated. &nbsp;<br />

Do I need to backup our SharePoint files

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
