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. Exploring all organizations When exploring all organizations, Veeam Backup for Micro

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. Suggested resourcesBackup 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.  Continue to Step 3.1 Restoration capabilitiesReturn to Course OverviewReturn to Veeam University Free Home

Onboarding for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 - Step 2.6 Backup job scheduling options

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8 introduces more granular control for backup windows, allowing you to better manage job execution during specific periods to avoid peak times or system load. This includes enhanced capabilities for setting more detailed permitted and denied time frames. You can select one of the following options:Daily at this time. Select this option if you want to run the job daily at the specified hours. Periodically every. Select this option if you want to run the job every N minutes.Time periods can be selected in the dialog, in which you can:Set the Permitted execution time frame for the backup job. Set the Denied execution time frame for the backup job. The following is an example in which it is prohibited to run a backup job on the following days of the week:Monday from 3 a.m. up until 9:59 a.m. Thursday from 2 p.m. up until 8:59 p.m. Did you know? With Veeam you can back up your data with the lowest recovery point objectives (RPOs) in the industry - up to every

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

Creating a backup job Selecting backup scopeCreating a backup jobTo 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 optionsThe first backup job session always produces a full backup of all objects added to a backup job scope. Subsequent backup job sessions are inc

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

  Supported storage Retention policiesSupported storageVeeam 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 storageFor 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 on-p

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

  Infrastructure planning Infrastructure components Installation packageInfrastructure planningVeeam 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. Microsoft Exchange Primary mailboxes Archive mailboxes Shared mailboxes Public folders Resource mailboxesMicrosoft SharePointCollaboration sites Communication sites Personal sitesMicrosoft OneDrive for BusinessOneDrive for
