Request Body

Restore to Original Location

To restore backed-up OneDrive data to the same production server, the request body must contain the restoretoOriginallocation action properties:

Property	Type	Description
userName	string	Specifies the user name that you want to use for authenticating with the organization.
userPassword	string	Specifies the password of the user account that you want to use for authenticating with the organization.
documentVersion	documentVersion	Specifies, which of the following versions of the OneDrive document will be restored: all last
documentAction	documentAction	Specifies, which one of the following actions will be performed in case the restore destination contains the restored document: overwrite keep
userCode	string	Specifies the authentication code. For more information on how to get a device code, see Getting Device Code. This property is required if you want to use a device code for data restore.
applicationId	string	An identification number of the Azure AD application that you want to use for a restore.
applicationCertificate	base64	Specifies the SSL certificate configured for the Azure AD application that you want to use for data restore. You must provide the certificate as a Base64 string. For more information on how to obtain a Base64 string, see Converting Certificate to Base64 String.
applicationCertificatePassword	string	A password for the SSL certificate being used.

Converting Certificate to Base64 String

If you want to use a certificate to access an Azure AD application, you must provide the certificate as a Base64 string. To obtain a Base64 string, perform the following steps:

Get the certificate content from a PFX file.
Convert the certificate to a Base64 string.

To do this, you can use the following PowerShell cmdlets:

$pfx_cert = get-content '<path_to_cert>' -Encoding Byte

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($pfx_cert) | Out-File '<path_to_file>'

where:

<path_to_cert> — path to the PFX file that you want to convert to a Base64 string.
<path_to_file> — path to a file that that will contain the resulting Base64 string. You will be able to copy the Base64 string from the file and provide the string in the body of a request to Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 REST API.

For example:

$pfx_cert = get-content 'C:\cert.pfx' -Encoding Byte

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($pfx_cert) | Out-File 'C:\base64.txt'
