Spanning Backup Reviews & Product Details

What I like about Spanning Backup is that I am able to easily backup and recover all of my work. I use it all of the time as my primary backup software ever since I stumbled upon it. I feel like their customer support is well organized and relatively easy to get ahold of for someone who is not tech savvy and is learning how to work with SaaS. I have integrated Spanning Backup with my Salesforce and my Microsoft 365 accounts. In my opinion, I believe that Spanning Backup is easy to implement for any type of user.

A trustworthy cloud backup solution for Microsoft 365. You never truly know how effective a backup system is until you face a crisis or experience data loss. Unfortunately, my company did encounter such a situation, but fortunately, we were able to use Spanning Backup’s recovery feature, and it worked flawlessly! Recovering our backed up data was simple and intuitive, and I am extremely grateful for this software. The implementation process was straightforward, and integrating it with our Microsoft tenant was easy. Additionally, the system allows you to scale effortlessly as your company grows.

One limitation for our use case is that Spanning Backup is a cloud-only solution and does not support backing up Microsoft 365 data directly to on-premises storage (NAS). Since we have a NAS in our server room, having an option for local or hybrid backups for certain datasets would be a nice addition. While this does not impact the reliability of the cloud backup itself, it would be nice for organisations (like ours in Germany) that require local copies as part of their backup or compliance strategy.

I no longer have to worry about deciding which files belong on which devices, since the software takes care of all the slicing, ordering, and tracking for me. It's especially useful as my data grows, because as my backups increase over time, the system scales effortlessly—I simply add more media whenever I need it.

If even a single fragment or disc from the backup is damaged or lost, the entire backup could become unusable. Splitting my backup into more pieces only increases the chances that something might go wrong. When dealing with a large amount of data, more fragments are required, but this also raises the risk of failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside is that reporting and alerts could be more detailed and customisable. While the basic information is available, deeper insights and clearer summaries would help administrators monitor backup health more efficiently. Pricing may also feel slightly high for smaller teams with limited budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside is that the reporting and visibility could be better. While backups run reliably, the dashboard doesn’t always make it easy to quickly understand detailed backup status or history without digging deeper. For smaller teams or individual users, the pricing can also feel a bit high compared to simpler backup tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
