BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
How should we compare Standard with the other backup options?
Compare the actual product, workloads, retention, restoration process, permissions and management responsibilities. The tier name is not enough to establish equivalence.
What if Microsoft Teams data is a requirement?
The legacy Standard page says Teams is excluded. Confirm current coverage for the exact product before selecting it, and compare a suitable alternative if the required content is not protected.
