What about Microsoft 365 advanced data protection?
Microsoft 365 offers license-dependent data protection features including Archiving and Litigation Hold. These features are designed for compliance and litigation, not for quick search and restore of lost data.
Relying on Legal Hold to restore an email can take up to six hours, increasing support costs and reducing customer satisfaction.
The cost to restore a single email can be equal to or more than the cost of investing in an organization-wide backup solution for an entire year!
But what if you need to recover an entire folder or mailbox of a key employee and how will the delay or inability to restore data impact the relationship with your customer?

IT managers, CIos may not be aware that the risk of data loss also extends to the cloud. Research institutes such as the IT Compliance Policy Group, (and others) report: 32% of businesses are impacted by data loss in the cloud. Data loss can occur from any number of reasons – from accidental deletion to malicious attacks like viruses Malware and ransomware – and the detrimental costs from these incidents can be severe, costing up to $100,000 per incident for the particular businesses. Using a cloud business solution like Exchange Online, won’t really protect you from these threats. For this reason in particular – and the fact that native data retention policies provided by Microsoft 365 are inadequate – it is just as important to backup Exchange Online data as it was during when mail was being managed on-premises.

Yes. The archive mailbox is stored in a folder called “Top of Information store”.
The litigation hold feature of Exchange Online Archiving is for eDiscovery and does not offer a restore function. For instance if you want to restore a mailbox or folder from two weeks ago, you can select the CloudAlly backup, click restore and you are done.
This is not possible with litigation hold. You would first need to perform eDiscovery searches on the archive mailbox for each individual item, of course if you’re restoring a mailbox or folder from two weeks ago, you wouldn’t know what to search for. Each set of search results would need to be saved in a discovery mailbox and then you would have to export all the results to a local machine. Then you would need to upload the exported search results to Office 365
