Veeam is one of them. our print audit software is another. Anything that seems to be attached to a SQL instance seems to not want to start up after a reboot.

I thought I did that but guess not. We'll start there and see what happens.

@pete-s said in Web hosting + (or not) email: keep separate:

This is somewhat ridiculous. The entire premise of Microsoft's offering is vendor lock-in.
Of course you are hostage to Microsoft. Of course they will keep integrating their services until it's impossible for you to change providers. And when they raise their prices you will pay. It doesn't make sense to fool yourself into thinking something else.

If you want separate discrete services you have to stop using O365 because it's already a bundle of services - even without email.

Unless you only want email from them, then it's not too locked in. Just not very good.
