# Create a Microsoft 365 Plan for Teams

Create a Microsoft 365 plan for Teams. The Microsoft 365 plan specifies which teams are backed up and how long the data is retained.

You will assign the Microsoft 365 plan to the teams that you add to the Teams app.

If some teams have different backup requirements, you can create additional Microsoft 365 plans for Teams.

Important

Before you create a Microsoft 365 plan, review the supported Microsoft 365 Standard and Enterprise plan configurations. For more information, see Configure Microsoft 365 Standard and Enterprise plans.
