Request Body
Export to PST
|
To export Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 entities to PST files (Personal Folder Files), you must have a 64-bit version of Microsoft Outlook 2016, Microsoft Outlook 2013 or Microsoft Outlook 2010 installed on the computer running restore sessions. |
To export the backed up items from the organization's mailbox to a PST file (Personal Folder File), the request body must contain the exporttoPst action property:
Property | Type | Description |
ContentKeywords | string | Specifies the keyword to query backed up mailbox items. For example, "сontentKeywords": "support". |
For example:
{ "exporttoPst": {"contentKeywords": "support" } } |
The request command will look for the specified keyword in item names and fields inside the organization's mailbox. The backed up data with the specified keyword then will be exported to a PST file and placed to a temporary folder on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 server. After that, the PST file will be transferred as application/octet-stream media to the client. To download, read, convert to PST or perform other actions with the octet-stream, use features of programming languages.
|
You can use Swagger UI to download the octet-stream file by clicking the Download action link, which server returns in the response body after a successfully completed export operation. |
