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 backed up data from the organization's mailbox folder 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 folder data. For example, "сontentKeywords": "support". |
For example:
{ "exporttoPst": {"contentKeywords": "<string>" } } |
The request command will look for a specified keyword in data inside the organization's mailbox folder. The backed up data with a 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 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. |
