Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 5 Advanced features

Self-restore portal Job best practices Common roadblocks Authentication method Least privilege approach Proxy deployment scenarios Immutability Self-restore portal Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 provides users with the ability to explore and restore data from backups by themselves or delegate this task to somebody else in their organization. In these scenarios, Veeam Explorers are not needed to explore and restore backed-up data. Instead, users use Restore Portal — a web-based solution performing all operations in a web browser window. You can configure the Restore Portal settings and assign restore operator role to users or groups to allow the performance of self-service restore. Restore operators are allowed to explore and restore data from backups created by Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for specific organization object types: users, groups (group members only), sites, teams, or the entire Microsoft 365 organization.

Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 3.1 Restoration capabilities

By now, you have an operational backup environment, some initial backups finished, a fine‑tuning set and are successfully monitoring and reporting. Congrats! You’ve also likely tried a test restore (hopefully you haven’t needed to do a real restore, but if you have, we’re glad you had a backup). If you haven’t, or you want to dive a bit deeper, here are some resources to help explain and guide you through the restore process. You can explore your Microsoft 365 data four key ways: 1. Exploring backup jobs When exploring backup jobs, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 loads the latest restore point that was created by the selected job. 2. Exploring single organizations When exploring a single organization, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 merges and loads the latest restore points that have been created by each backup job of the selected organization, including objects (i.e. users) no longer protected in a job. 3.

Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 2.7 Creating a backup copy job

You can add any backup job to a backup copy job by right clicking the job and selecting Add to backup copy job. Backup copy capabilities are only available if you have specified an object repository as a target for your backup jobs. An extended backup repository where you store your backups and a backup repository where you store backup copies must be located on the same backup proxy server and have the same retention type. After Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 created backup copies, you can explore and restore, or retrieve backup copies. For more information, see What You Do with Backup Copies. Suggested resources Backup Copy User Guide If you need more help getting started, you can post your question in the comments section below or contact us at any time and someone from the Customer Success team will be there to assist you.

Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 2.5 Selecting backup scope & creating a backup job

Creating a backup job Selecting backup scope Creating a backup job To back up data of your Microsoft 365 and on-premises organizations, you use backup jobs. A backup job is a set of configuration parameters that define a list of users, groups, sites, teams and organizations to back up, a location where to store backups, and a schedule according to which new backups must be created. This also supports immutable backups and encryption options during configuration, providing enhanced security and compliance for backup data. Creating a backup job in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is an easy, wizard-driven process. There are six steps you will need to follow for the backup job setup: Launch the new backup job wizard Specify a backup job name Select objects to back up Select objects to exclude Specify a backup proxy and repository Specify scheduling options The first backup job session always produces a full backup of all objects added to a backup job scope.

Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 2.4 Supported storage & retention policies

Supported storage Retention policies Supported storage Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 supports a variety of different storage options, including local repository and object storage. Read this Storage Decision Guide for Microsoft 365 Backups to learn pros and cons of local storage vs. object storage. You can use block or object storage. If your goal is to implement backup copy to object storage (with or without immutability), your source repository must also be object storage. The backup copy repository retention type must also be the same as the source (snapshot or item-level). Backup repositories are supported on the following types of storage: DAS Directly attached storage (DAS) is supported, which includes DAS, USB/external serial advanced technology attachments (eSATA) and raw device mapping (RDM). Object storage For organizations that have a cloud first strategy, Veeam supports object storage. These include AWS S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, IBM Cloud, S3-compatible (cloud and

Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 2.3 Infrastructure planning & installation package

Infrastructure planning Infrastructure components Installation package Infrastructure planning Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8 considers the size of the environment in terms of the number of objects you need to protect rather than the number of users when planning infrastructure. The solution supports primary and archive mailboxes, shared mailboxes, public folders, Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and Teams (including channels and tabs). With the maximum configuration, it can now support up to 1 million objects per instance, 20,000 objects per proxy, and up to 250,000 users per deployment. In version 8, additional performance enhancements allow for greater scalability, faster restores, and support for larger repositories, which can be unlimited in size.

Correlation between DataLabs and Virtual Labs Understand and build a Virtual Lab Isolated Networks and Network Settings Build a DataLab Correlation between DataLabs and Virtual Labs Virtual Lab Virtual Lab builds a Linux virtual machine (proxy appliance) that acts like a router and gateway between your production and Isolated Networks. Isolated network and Re-IP settings are configured in the Virtual Labs wizard. Virtual Labs is a standalone, independent feature in Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam Recovery Orchestrator leverages this functionality for DataLabs. DataLabs DataLabs requires a Virtual Lab to be built in your Veeam Backup & Replication console. When you assign a DataLab in Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, it makes a one-to-one association between the Virtual Lab and DataLabs. DataLabs is an overlay on top of a Virtual Lab that extends recovery verification into Veeam Recovery Orchestrator.
