The policy is, that each user has a specific Work folder (root folder) which gets backed up with Veeam Backup for Office 365. One of my customers developed an internal policy regarding the usage of OneDrive for Business.
Running the infrastructure on-prem and downloading all data to then upload it again to an Azure blob container might not be the best option. This is going to be a quick post on how to backup a single OneDrive folder with Veeam Backup for Office 365. Other customers run it within Microsoft Azure based on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 template available within the Azure Marketplace.Ĭonsider the final data repository location and the traffic flow when deciding the servers placement. Multiple Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 customers decide to store their data “at home” within their local infrastructure to ensure they will have a copy of their own data. There are multiple important reasons for creating a backup of your Office 365 data. Making the selection for the final location for running Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is a business decision instead of a technical choice.
As the software can run within virtual servers you can deploy Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 on your own virtualization platform, within a private cloud or at the platform of a (hyperscale) cloud provider like Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.įor a quick start you can deploy VBO via the Azure and AWS marketplaces. If you do not wait, it cancels the job.Īfter the job completed successfully, I checked the Veeam Explorer for OneDrive.įinally, you can see, that the job was succesful and did only backup the “Falko Banaszak Webhosting” folder.Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 can run on physical or virtual servers. Remember: If you start a job in PowerShell, you have to wait until it is finished. With the “-SelectedOneDriveFolder” parameter, I’ve set the job to only process the folder “Falko Banaszak Webhosting”.Īfter my job has been successfully created, I created another variable for my new job and started it immediately: $BackupJob = Get-VBOJob -Name "ONEDRIVE BACKUP" I created some variables for the organization, the repository and the item I wanted to back up. $ItemToBackup = New-VBOBackupItem -Organization $Organization -OneDriveĪdd-VBOJob -Organization $Organization -Name "ONEDRIVE BACKUP" -Repository $Repository -SelectedItems $ItemToBackup -SelectedOneDriveFolder "Falko Banaszak Webhosting" $Repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ONEDRIVE"
So what I did is the following: $Organization = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "" Here is the related command and its parameters.
If you didn’t know it already, the ability to exclude or include specific folders for OneDrive backups is only available by using PowerShell. I recreated that scenario with my own Office 365 Tenant, whereby I selected to only backup my webhosting folder. However, in my case here it makes more sense to only include that specific folder. By the way, you are also able to exclude specific OneDrive folders by using the “ -ExcludedOneDriveFolders” variable.
So in this scenario we needed a OneDrive backup job, which backs up the whole organization with the OneDrive object and only includes that work folder. All other folders are not backed up and the users know that. The policy is, that each user has a specific “Work” folder (root folder) which gets backed up with Veeam Backup for Office 365. This is going to be a quick post on how to backup a single OneDrive folder with Veeam Backup for Office 365.
