this solution you can easily restore exchange emails calendar events and contacts office 365 SharePoint sites as well as onedrive for business files and folders in a few simple clicks let's take a look at the demonstration in this demonstration of being backup for Microsoft Office 365 we're going to begin by connecting to an organization to do this we right click on organizations and select add organizations in this menu we'll be able to see the types of organizations we have to choose from when we click on the select organization deployment type we'll see we have the option for office 365 a hybrid deployment or even an on-premise deployment for Exchange or SharePoint you can also select the services you'd like to protect including Exchange Online SharePoint Online and onedrive for business let's cancel out and take a look at the rest of the menu at this time we're going to connect to an existing organization which is right here we right-click select edit and now we see the menu for the pre-existing organization in the first menu we see we're connected to a Microsoft Office 365 organization when we select next we'll see the region option if we click on region you'll see the option to select multiple regions if they're there and then below that we'll see the option to select different authentication methods including modern and basic authentication options let's select next under Exchange Online credentials we're going to specify an administrative account so we paste the password below we can grant this user account required roles and permissions via a check box or even use the same credentials for SharePoint Online and onedrive for business that's only if this account has access to be able to manage these roles let's select next and now we can watch it verifies step-by-step as it connects up to this organization once this is completed we can select fit and then go down to the backup infrastructure option in the left menu here we'll see some additional components that we'll be able to configure the first component we're going to look at is the proxies we'll right-click and select edit on one of the pre-configured proxies the first window will show which system this proxy is located on additionally we can see the port that it's going to be communicating through let's select next to continue to the next menu here we'll be able to see the credentials that we'll be using to connect to the proxy server once we've completed all of these steps the last menu will allow us to deploy the proxy into the environment the next step we'd like to look at is the properties so let's right-click on this deployed proxy and go to the properties menu under the general tab of the backup proxy properties we see the options to set the number of threads as well as limit the network bandwidth if we check the box below we will be setting this to one megabyte per second the internet proxy tab would allow us to either use the internet proxy settings from the management server or hard-code our own below let's go ahead and click cancel and move forward let's take a look at the backup repositories that have been configured we'll right click on the default repository and select edit here we see the name of that repository as well as a description let's select next in this menu we can see the proxy that this is attached to this is the proxy that office 365 information will be stored in and will not be shared with any other Veen products here we see the path to that repository so let's select next the retention policy is where we configure how long we're going to retain this data within this repository as you can see it's set for 10 years currently this repository is using the item level retention option which means each item has this retention policy attached to it individually this means any items older than 10 years will be purged from this repository we also have snapshot based retention which is more similar to Veen backup and replication or the veem agents meaning we use a snapshot of that mailbox and restore it in the exact same state in the bottom right we see the advanced top once we select this we'll see a window open that allows us to apply retention policies either added daily or monthly interval to remove the items or snapshots we no longer need let's select cancel and then we'll select finish to complete the process that completes the creation of the repository let's zoom back out and take a look at some existing jobs to do this well select organizations on the left side and then we'll see some of these pre-existing jobs show up on the right once we right-click we see the option to start the job or we can even select one of the existing Veeam explorers in this example that shows exchange we could also select the SharePoint Explorer let's go down and select edit when we created the name we included ten-year retention to make it easier to be able to locate this job let's select next next we see the menu that allows us to select the objects to back up we could choose to back up the entire organization but in this example we chose to back up the following objects and below you'll see we have one listed object we select edit and it shows that we're backing up mail and the archive but we've selected not to back up onedrive or the SharePoint sites in the next menu we're given the option to exclude objects in this example you'll see that we have included a public mailbox I can also select the Add button on the right to exclude users groups or even specific sites if needed in the next menu we simply set up the proxy and the repository through a drop-down list and then we can select next in the scheduling options menu we can run the job automatically either daily or it periodically the drop-down window will give you many options to choose from we also have the option to select how many times we want to retry a failed object and then below you'll see the option to terminate a job if it exceeds the allowed backup window this can also prevent jobs from consuming too much bandwidth outside of that said window once we click Save we complete the process of configuring back up for office 365 to give a complete demonstration of how this solution works we're gonna go down on the bottom left hand and open up somebody's email and in here we're gonna choose an individual email to delete and to ensure it's been completely deleted we're going to go into the deleted items and remove it from here as well this will ensure that we're not pulling it from the deleted items to recover this item we return to the backup for office 365 interface select Explorer and open the Explorer for exchange as this was an exchange mail item in this example we're gonna pull from the most recent pool of data to do this I expand the store in the Explorer interface from here I can select the mailbox that I was just in and go down to the inbox to simplify the process of finding this mail and all of the other emails we're going to use the search option and we're gonna search for something that we know is already in the email now that we've isolated the individual item that we're looking for let's right-click and take a look at some of the options from that drop-down menu we see the options to open this email or open the items location we can restore this to the original email location or to a different exchange server we can also export it to the desktop as a PST file or export it to a separate location as a PST file we can save it to the desktop as an MSG file or to a different location additionally we can send this to the original email location or to a different mailbox we're going to restore back to the original mailbox of the user for this example the user account that we're using for this example does not have the access to restore this to the original location so we will be prompted to put in credentials that will allow us to do this this user will also need to have permission to recover data within this organization once you provide the name and the password for this account and we select ok in a short period of time we'll see that this email has been restored to its original location selecting the see more option will show us more information about this job now when we go back to that inbox that we saw earlier we'll see that that item that we delete has now been recovered back to its original location that will complete the back up for office 365 demonstration thank you you
