Backing up the Veeam for Microsoft 365 Management Server

[rstone]

Hello, is it OK to backup the Microsoft 365 Management Server VM using Veeam Backup and replication. I'm worried 365 individual backups will have an issue if the management server is being backup up at a similar time?

Hi Rob

Yes, it's ok. But I strongly recommend to run the VM backup after the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 backup jobs has finished. Or you will protect a VB365 server in a state where the configuration database was already updated with some incomplete information by the running VB365 job.

More information for the protection of a VB365 server can be found here:

Great, thank you. Think I will run it in the day time.
