Migration VBM365 on new server

[matteu]

Hello,

I will have to build a new VBM365 to new server.

Source :
1tenant (500users with exchange/onedrive + teams and sharpeoint)
vsphere VM Windows 2022 all in one (repository + proxy + vbm)
Local repository (volume NTFS on the VM) with différent repository 1for exchange 1 for onedrive 1 shared for teams + sharepoint

Destination :
1 tenant (500users with exchange/onedrive + teams and sharpeoint)
Nutanix VM Windows 2025 (proxy + vbm)
Object first repository

1) Can I use the same bucket for all backup job or is there a recommendation to have 1 for onedrive, 1 for exchange and 1 shared for teams + sharepoint ?
2) Can I use all the same Azure application than the source VM or not ? (there is only 1 tenant with restore portal used).
If yes, can they use them at the same time ? I mean, if both VBM server are using during 1 week before the old one is shutdown.
3) As there is no export / import config available, I guess the only solution is to recreate the settings + jobs right ?


Thanks for your answer.

Hi Matteu,

1) You can perfectly use one bucket and either create multiple folders within it (i.e. multiple repos) or use a single folder (i.e. one single repo for all data types). As a best practice, it makes sense to separate Exchange to a dedicated repo, and OneDrive (if there's a lot of data). SharePoint and Teams can be backed up into the same repo. All these recommendations are mostly dictated by the ease of management; performance-wise there's no difference.

2) Yes, you can. However, if you use it simultaneously on both servers, be prepared to a heavier throttling on Microsoft side because all your backup requests from the 2 servers will go through a single app registration.

3) I'm afraid so.

Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.

1) OK, I understand .

2) Perfect if it works ! I will not execute both at the same time, but at least, I don't have to create new apps on Azure.

3) ok
