Securely Back Up Exchange Online and Microsoft 365 Mailboxes
Microsoft's retention policy won't hold onto your mailbox data forever, and once it's gone, it's gone. Shefware Exchange Online Backup Tool pulls your emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and attachments out of Microsoft 365 and onto your own computer via the Graph API, so you're never relying on Microsoft's clock to keep your data safe. The Exchange Online backup tool provides a practical way to maintain an independent local copy of important Microsoft 365 mailbox data.
★ Free Version : You back up a limited number of items per folder for a single mailbox.

Backup isn't limited to email. Contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and attachments are all captured together, so a mailbox backup actually reflects the full mailbox, not just the inbox.
Backups don't have to include everything every time. Filter by item type or set a date range so the backup only covers what's actually relevant to the job at hand.
Once the first full backup is done, the tool tracks what's already saved and only pulls new or modified items on the next run. That means faster backup cycles and no duplicated data.
