[BETA] Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 1.5

Post by Mike Resseler »

IMPORTANT: You can't upgrade version 1 to the BETA version, nor can you upgrade or install it on any server that has other Veeam solutions running on it. The Veeam explorer for Exchange added to the beta package is NOT compatible with Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 update 2.

IMPORTANT: For testing purposes, you can safely protect mailboxes in production with version 1 and at the same time on a separate server with version 1.5. Do note that the throttling rules at that moment are shared so advices is to not let the jobs run at the same time or close to each other

Build number
1.5.0.792

What's new

Scalability
• Deploy additional proxies to support multiple and/ or larger organizations
• Support for multiple repositories per proxy for better scalability and multi-tenancy
• Configure your retention range per repository to support the different SLA needs per tenant/ business unit
Exchange organizations
• Now you can protect not only O365 organizations but also Hybrid and on-premises organizations also
• The support for new regions such as China, Germany and US Government (DoD and non-DoD) is added
• We added the possibility to protect Public Folders so you can protect your entire organization
Automation
• All functionality can be controlled through PowerShell, including infrastructure tasks, scaling-out, creating/ changing and deleting jobs and restore tasks
• All functionality can be controlled through a Full Rest API including swagger support to allow you to build your own portals or programmatically request/ change/ delete or create data and objects
General
• We added the possibility to limit the network bandwidth per proxy
• Multiple enhancements are made to increase the performance, including the possibility to increase the threads (configurable per proxy) to protect data faster
Veeam Explorer for Exchange
• Up to 5 times faster restore directly to your Microsoft Office 365 organization
• You can view the headers from emails now in Veeam Explorer for Exchange to investigate emails that could be potentially causing havoc or are malware related

Known issues

Hi Ian, have you tried with some other browser? Clearing the browser's cache or logging out and back in to the Veeam web site might also help.

Will the RTM support being installed on the same server as Veeam Backup & Replication or will it also need to be installed on a separate server from other Veeam products?

Sam, just to check, have you tried to click the "click here" link on the page where it says that download should start automatically?

The release version will support installation on Veeam B&R server (the minimum supported Veeam B&R version will be identified upon the release).

Hello,

Could you guide me to instructions/documentation in the case of installing and running it from an Azure vm ?

Thanks,

Hey Johnny,

If you have downloaded it, then inside the zip there are manuals. Running it on an Azure VM or on-premises is the same

Thanks for the answer, Mike.
I have browsed through the manual.

Follow-up questions:

How about scaling out with additional proxy servers and repositories in Azure ?
Does planning a VBO365 service for multiple customers differ in Azure compared to a local based installation ?
Or does the manual apply regardless of local or Azure based VBO365 solution ?

Hi Johnny,

No changes there. Just deploy additional VM workloads in IaaS (open the ports between them that are needed) and you can scale out
The planning itself does not really change actually. The only difference is that you will be more limited in the size of your repository because of the disk limitations in Azure VMs.

Hi Johhny,

Can you get the logs and place them somewhere on a dropbox or similar cloud storage and PM me the download URL? We will look into the logs and see what goes wrong.

Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike,

First of all, I will doublecheck roles/permissions on the account I will use.
I got similar errors with v1.

I´ll get back to you afterwards.

Hi Mike,

the cause was a permission configuration error on the account we´re using.
The organization is now added.
I will soon begin the testing phase.

Anything I should know before starting up, known issues etc. ?

The known issues are in the beginning of this post.
In the meantime we have discovered some additional bugs, and also MSFT has made some changes on the backend.

If you encounter something, please create a new post on these forums and I will help as fast as I can

I am getting a error message "processing mailbox Mailbox2@zzz.onmicrosoft.com failed with error: Failed to synchronize item changes. Access is denied. Check credentials and try again., ICS synchronization failed." which prevents a successful backup of Public Folders. Can you help with this error?

Also, is there an update to the beta and an estimated GA date?

Hi Matt,

No update on the beta, but GA is very close.

Can you sent me a PM with the location of the logs (see beginning of this post on how to collect it) so I can have a look?

Thanks
Mike

I have downloaded the version beta, but I have seen that the licence expires on 9/30/2017.
It means that :
a) another beta will be given
b) the GA will be given at the end of September
c) is it necessary to ask (to whom) for a new trial licence?

Thanks
Stefano

@Kristian,

I am hoping you were not running 1.5 beta in production?
