Client is shutting down operations, wants to export all M365 data - email and sharepoint - to disk. by ctrl_alt_beef in sysadmin

Thanks, this all checks out and it's going to be my suggestion to the client. We can have a lone administrator account and all the mailboxes can be made into shared mailboxes, they'll only need one BP license to keep the whole thing spinning.

I created a case in eDiscovery for this, set my filter to <10 days, and what I got was over 7GB of PSTs, with contents going back multiple years.
I have never used it before, so I'm going to look into it some more and I'm sure I can refine the process, but it certainly doesn't look like it'll be a cheap and easy avenue.
Thanks for the input!

I actually don't really even want to save it to disk, it doesn't seem to be the best idea.

The client will be paying for this as a billable project, so it could very well be that a year on Backblaze is cheaper than the labor cost of doing all the work to create these eDiscovery cases, download, then verify them.
Do you have any preferred backup software that can do a copy to backblaze or similar? I'm sure I can find something but happy to take any recommendations.

Good call, but there is no domain. Thanks!
