Newbie question

Hi

I am trialing O365 backup.
I have setup my organisation and its doing all so exchange , sharepoint, one drive for business

should I have 1 or 3 for each on individually

Also when i run a job, it seems to take a long time to do the sharepoint back - whats it backing up there is nothing there !

How often are people doing their backups... I am thinking 1 day

Hello,
what do you mean with "1 or 3"? Repositories? Jobs? Installations?

I don't know how many users / how much data you have. But if it's a small installation (few hundred users), then I would go with 3 jobs on 3 repositories with one VBO installation. Each one for Exchange, Sharepoint, Onedrive.

How often depends on your needs. But yes, many to once a day.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi

So what I can gather I create an org, from this I can do exchange and / or sharepoint & one drive business.

So should I create 2 of these 1 for exchange and 1 for sharepoint & one drive


where it stores the files.

I have create a directory can I have all of my jobs go there ?

another strange thing I have a restore job that seems to be running ????? for exchange and one drive and sharepoint - but I have asked it to create / do this ?????

seems like its been running every couple of hours WTF

Hello,
I'm sorry but I cannot really follow your questions.

Maybe the user guide can help

Object types - after understanding you should be able to decide how you like to structure your backup jobs
data is stored in repositories

restore jobs don't "just start" on their own. They exist if you start a restore process.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi
OKay, let me start again - I have read through the manuals and still ..


So i have 1 tenancy - 1 org in O365 - sample.com
So open console, go to organisations
click add org
you get a dialog box, it states
Select the services you want to protect
exchange online
Shapepoint online and One Drive for Business

Should I create 2 entries here for the same org, but 1 does exchange online and 1 does sharepoint and onedrive.

Or as I have create only 1 entry and do both ?


The next question
I have a backup job
if I edit it I have the option of setting a backup repository. if I have 2 of the org objects above can I send to the same repository. Is there a benefit to sending to the same . dedupe / compression etc

No jobs running with out me - well there are

I go to history tab
click on restore

I have multiple jobs that exist and ran before i created anything - exchange restore ( all organisations)

I have a share point restore that was running when i wrote the previous reply. says 11 items processed - for entire organisation

I have done nothing with sharepoint. thats just wierd

Hello,

1 and do both. Keep it simple

Is there a benefit to sending to the same . dedupe / compression etc

makes no difference

for the jobs: I can only recommend to raise a support ticket for that. It makes no sense to me and is hard to answer in the forums.

Best regards,
Hannes

The reason why you can add Exchange and sharepoint/onedrive seperate is for when you have for example Exchange only plans. U can leverage the same account for both if u use multiple O365 services.

In regards to the job question, by default u have an empty sharepoint installation and we will back up those if u configure it hence why u see those 11 files. If there is data in there and u don’t see it, could you tell the retention policy configured on the repository?

The repository is keel all.. Just giving that a try

Also what is this ReS file system - I read its part of NTFS ?

should I be changing my D: drive from NTFS to this - can I do it on the fly ?

[nielsengelen]

ReFS is a file system by Microsoft, I suggest your read up on it via https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... s-overview. You can use either ReFS or NTFS but there is no benefit for using REFS with VBO.

If your repository is set to keep forever and you don’t see any items in the Veeam Explorer for SharePoint while there are sites, please contact support for insight.

Hi

Okay ReFS

So its a virgin sharepoint site.

[nielsengelen]

If you haven’t used SharePoint at all, it will be an empty site and we will only backup the standard files.
