Maintaining Dynamics 365 CE

Depending on the deployment type (online or on-premises) we are using for Dynamics 365 CE, we'll need to work on Dynamics 365 CE maintenance activities. These maintenance activities involve organization data backup, rollup or patch updates, and performance improvements.
