One checkbox will protect a whole workload in Microsoft 365 Backup. What it bills is not what you see in the usage report

Full Workload Backup reaches general availability from mid-September: one policy per workload protecting every SharePoint site, or every OneDrive account, or every mailbox, including the ones created later. List price is $0.15 per GB per month, applied to a base that adds in the second-stage recycle bin and online archives. Microsoft warns that its own usage report includes neither, "and is thus incomplete", and offers a calculator that does ask for them. The problem is that the report is what everybody looks at.

The Exchange you left running: 21,899 unpatched servers, and yours could be one

On 31 August 2026, Shadowserver scans counted 21,899 IP addresses running an Exchange Server without the CVE-2026-62911 patch released on 11 August. Many of those servers do not belong to companies that never migrated: they are the one left running after the move to Microsoft 365, published on the internet and owned by nobody. What Microsoft's advisory says and does not say next to Germany's BSI, why since April 2022 that server can be switched off, which route Microsoft recommends in 2026 to remove it for good, and the three cases where you should not touch it.

Recoverable Items: 14 days, 30 GB and the day the mailbox can no longer delete

The folder that saves you when someone empties the deleted items does not show up in Outlook, keeps things for 14 days by default and holds 30 GB. Put the mailbox on hold and the ceiling rises to 100 GB — in exchange for never draining again: things only go in. And on the day it hits that ceiling, per Microsoft's own documentation, the user cannot delete, versions stop being kept and audit entries stop being written. How to measure your headroom with two commands, how to open the drain that ships disconnected, and why a folder deleted with Shift+Delete does not come back even under litigation hold.

The Microsoft 365 backup that never leaves Microsoft

Microsoft 365 Backup restores a SharePoint site in under twenty minutes, costs $0.15 per protected GB per month and keeps a year of restore points. Its own documentation also says the data never crosses the Microsoft 365 trust boundary, that the storage is append-only rather than immutable, and that deleting the backups is not blocked. Which scenario that covers, which it does not, and the two new dependencies that appear the day you switch it on.

The report says "zero impacts", and that does not mean nobody uses it

Baseline Security Mode puts twenty-one settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center that used to live only in PowerShell: switching off basic authentication, EWS, ActiveX, IDCRL, Publisher. Microsoft's guidance says to turn each one on when its impact report comes back at zero. The detail that changes the reading: the Office app settings are delivered through Cloud Policy, and Windows clients below version 2510 do not send the simulation mode telemetry that feeds that report. What each switch turns off, what actually breaks when you close EWS, and the order we do it in.

Cross-tenant recall: Exchange Online lets another company delete mail from your mailboxes

In mid-August Microsoft starts rolling out cross-tenant message recall in Exchange Online (MC1423106). It ships switched off, and you do not turn it on to recover your own emails: you turn it on so senders in another tenant can delete messages already delivered to your people's mailboxes. What cloud recall does today (hard delete, read messages included, retrying for up to 24 hours), why the allow list looks far too much like the list of domains invoice fraud uses, what actually protects you (retention, not the checkbox), and the logging gap almost nobody has read.

EWS en Exchange Online: la fecha límite real para escribir la lista de aplicaciones permitidas es el 31 de agosto de 2026

EWS shuts down in October, but your deadline is 31 August

On 1 October Exchange Online starts disabling EWS, and on 1 April 2027 it disables it for good, with no re-enablement. But one detail turns the calendar on its head: from October, leaving EWSEnabled set to True with an empty allowed-application list starts to mean "block everything", and if you do not write that list before the end of August, in September Microsoft writes it for you based on whatever it saw running. What to look at in the usage report, the exact commands, why that automatic list fails both by omission and by excess, and the gaps Graph still does not cover according to Microsoft's own roadmap.
