Backup Applications

You can configure Microsoft Entra applications for Microsoft 365 organizations added using modern app-only authentication to minimize throttling when backing up Microsoft SharePoint Online and Microsoft OneDrive for Business data. You can add existing applications to the backup configuration or create new applications in your Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 capabilities.

Consider the following:

• Using multiple applications may impact the performance of your production SharePoint environment. For more information, see Impact of Multiple Backup Applications on Performance.

• For security purposes, data exchange between Microsoft Entra applications and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is maintained using SSL certificates only; you cannot use an application secret.

• For Microsoft 365 organizations added using either basic authentication or modern authentication method with legacy protocols allowed, you use backup accounts instead. For more information, see Backup Accounts.
