Main thing to consider is where you’re storing the backups. Are you wanting to store the locally or in another cloud service? The other consideration, of course, is cost.

The most CapEx friendly solution is to buy a Synology with a ton of drives. Their built in software can backup 365 and Google without any additional cost or license. Your only limitations here are bandwidth, storage space, and the fact the data is local. A cheap place you could store this data back in another cloud would be Wasabi, which the Synology can also connect to.

Veeam can back to up to local or cloud based repos, Wasabi included, but you have to pay a per user license, which can add up.

A Cloud to Cloud backup solution I’ve worked with is SysCloud. Easy to use interface, especially for plucking out files and folders for recovery. You can pay per user or buy bulk storage. I’ve only used it for Google Suite for Drive/classrooms/and other non-mail stuff, but I know it can do 365 content as well.

Finally, for strictly email (and not OneDrive/SharePoint, etc), one option is Mimecast. They are a great email security gateway that you can route your email through ahead of 365, and I think for security alone are a good investment if you can afford it. In addition to it handling security functions, you can also buy the archival service for capturing everything that goes through before users interact with them. Being able to near instantly search our entire email archive is super handy when doing legal/hr searches. It ain’t cheap though.

Another cloud to cloud I know but don’t use for 365 is Druva. We used them for endpoint backup and are quite happy with them in that regard, but I do know they do 365 as well, don’t know much about how that is licensed though.

Definitely compare some other products but those should be a good list to start with.

However, I do think the Synology is probably slightly more unique in its space. The software that comes their NAS are really powerful, does all kinds of things without cost beyond buying the hardware it self.

If you want to really nerd out on the details of how the season’s schedule is setup this year (it’s quite different than most leagues), check out this article: https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/2023-mls-regular-season-schedule-announced

Pertinent details start at the section titled “Leagues Cup Break”. Most importantly, the section titled “MLS Schedule Construction” outlines how the teams are group and how often they play each other. It’s a little convoluted.

Speaking of convoluted, here’s the playoff rules this season: https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/mls-announces-new-playoff-format-for-2023-season

Initially I was kind of annoyed at meme Mondays because it made it hard to track start of the week news that hit on Mondays, but I pretty quickly embraced it due to the general quality of the memes and the added meme flair.

Definitely support that coming to here, if that’s what the general consensus is.

Sadly it’s looking more and more to be the case. I’ve not been as hot as other fans to fire Gio in the last few years, but this season is finally starting to weigh on me. There’s been some similar things with a few other players in the last few years as well, such as that weird thing last season with Eryk Williamson getting benched at the end of the season, and Ivacic basically calling Gio a liar to the press at the beginning of this season as to why he was playing Bingham over Ivacic.

Between injuries and all the front office scandals, he’s been between a rock and a hard place pretty much his entire time he’s been here, so I have always been willing to give him some grace, but so many weird little things have slowly cropped up to being larger seemingly institutional rot at our core. I don’t put all the blame on him, but he’s not blameless and my grace may have waned by the end of the season depending on how things are.

Long time and active /r/Timbers and /r/MLS user making the jump off Reddit. My account name on Reddit was “murty_the_bearded”.

Between the fuckery that /u/spez (CEO of reddit) has been pulling and Elon’s bullshit constantly making Twitter worse and worse, I’ve been totally disconnected from MLS/Timbers news.

Hoping this place will fill that void in my life.

Cheers!
