Creating Express Backup Policies

To create backup policies, your organization must have this option enabled, and the user must have Manage Backups permissions. The Express policy option will only be enabled for users with an active Express or Premium Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 plan.

Consider the following:

• Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 supports the following types of Express backup policies:

• Selected Items backup policy
• Entire Organization backup policy

• You can only create one Express backup policy for each application (Outlook, OneDrive or SharePoint).

To create new backup policies, do the following:

1. Log in to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365.
2. In the main menu, click Backup Policies.
3. In the upper-right corner, click New Backup Policy.

4. On the Create new Backup Policy page, do the following:

1. Select New Express Policy (Microsoft Backup Policy).
2. Click Next.

5. On the Create new Backup Policy page, do the following:

1. Select the application whose items you want to back up: Outlook, OneDrive or SharePoint.

Keep in mind that there can only be one Express backup policy for each type. If it already exists, Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 displays the following notification: You already have a policy for Exchange/OneDrive/Sharepoint. Click Next below to edit it. To learn more, see Editing Express Backup Policies.

2. Click Next.

6. In the Details section, specify a name and description of the backup policy.

1. In the Name field, specify a name for the new backup policy.
2. [Optional] In the Job description field, provide a description for future reference.

7. In the Setting section, choose Back up entire organization or Back up the following objects option.

8. [For Selected items backup policies] In the Setting section, click M365 Users or Groups and select specific objects to back up.

9. Click Save to complete the operation.
