Setting Up Microsoft 365 Backup

Let's configure your M365 backup protection:

3. Select "Microsoft Office 365" as the backup type

Step 2: Connect to Microsoft 365

1. Click "Azure Active Directory" button
2. Log in with Global Admin credentials
3. Authorize the necessary permissions

💡 Pro Tip: Use a dedicated Global Admin account for backup purposes to maintain clear security tracking.

Step 3: Select What to Backup

Choose your backup scope:

• All mailboxes/sites
• Selected mailboxes/sites only

Common Questions

How long will the first backup take?

Initial backup time depends on data volume. The system uses efficient incremental backups after the first full backup.

Can I backup shared mailboxes?

Yes! Shared mailboxes are fully supported (requires Exchange E5 license or higher).

What about Teams chats and meetings?

Currently, we support Teams files backup. Chats, meetings, and calls are not included in the backup scope.
