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:
|
documentAction | documentAction | Specifies, which one of the following actions will be performed in case the restore destination contains the restored document:
|
userCode | string | Specifies the authentication code. For information about how to obtain the 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 information on how to obtain a 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' |
