Rights for Veeam backup account

[toreml]

Hi.

I'm setting up Veeam for Office 365 backup for a customer.
And they want to know which rights the account must have.

Just now it is Global Admin.
Is that a requirement - or could it have not that much rights.

I've looked at some links in other forumthreats but I don't get much wiser.

These are listed in our user guide.

So if I read the guide correct - the user should have the following rights for backup / restore of Office 365 - Mail \ SharePoint \ OneDrive:

Exchange:
ApplicationImpersonation - Required to back up Exchange data. (also restore?)
SharePoint:
SharePoint Administrator

Correct?

Hi Tore,

For backup, the account needs to have Exchange and SharePoint admin roles, plus an ApplicationImpersonation role.
Permissions required for Exchange restore are listed here, and for SharePoint restore you can find them here.
