To configure backup jobs for Office 365 organization, you should add this organization to the program scope. For that:
- Click Add Org on the toolbar, or select the Organizations node in the navigation tree, and from its shortcut menu select Add Office 365 organization.... The Add Organization wizard will be launched.
- At the first step of the wizard, enter user name and password for connection to the organization. Use any of the following formats: user@domain.com or user@domain.onmicrosoft.com.
- Make sure the Grant impersonation to this user option is selected. This will allow the service to archive mail from other users’ mailboxes.
Note: |
You may have impersonation granted manually, for example, via PowerShell (see Permissions section). However, if impersonation was not granted at all, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will issue an error message when checking organization parameters, and mailbox processing will not be possible. |
- At the next step, Veeam will verify the connection settings you have provided, including connection to Exchange Web Services (EWS) and PowerShell, as well as the necessary roles assignment for specified account.
A warning can appear in case the specified user account was not assigned the ApplicationImpersonation role in advance, prior to running the wizard, and then Veeam will try to perform this role assignment. If parameter check returns Success after re-run, you can proceed with finishing the wizard; if it returns Failure, you may need to exit the wizard and check the required permissions. Contact your Exchange Online administrator, if necessary.
Note: |
Mind the following:
|
After a successful check, the organization will be added to the scope and displayed under the Organizations node in the navigation tree. Then you can start creating backup jobs for organization mailboxes.
Note: |
Maximum number of mailboxes under protection depends on the mailbox sizes and the amount of mailbox activity. |
