Self-restore portal Job best practices Common roadblocks Authentication method Least privilege approach Proxy deployment scenarios ImmutabilitySelf-restore portalVeeam 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.This article contains a summary of actions that must be performed be

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3There are three major steps for restoring Microsoft 365 data with Veeam.Step 1The first step to setup restores is to launch the restore wizard. In this example we’ll show how to restore data from OneDrive for Business.Launch the Restore wizard.To launch the Restore wizard, you will do the following:1. Select an object that you want to restore:To restore a OneDrive for Business account, select the necessary account in the inventory pane. To restore a folder, select the necessary folder in the inventory pane. To restore a document, select a folder that contains the document in the inventory pane and select the document in the preview pane.2. On the OneDrive/Folder/Document tab, click Restore OneDrive/Restore Folder/Restore Document and select one of the following options:Overwrite — to completely overwrite existing OneDrive data.

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
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.

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
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
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.
