Creating a OneDrive account
Setting up OneDrive backup is very simple. The first thing you need to do is create an account and log in, as shown in the following images:
Enter the administrator account email address and the Azure AD application name.
Select your organization’s region and choose to generate a new self-signed certificate.
If you already have one generated, you can select it (it will be automatically selected if you are editing your account).
Click “Next.” In the next panel, you’ll need to complete the authentication process through the Microsoft website:
Open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin by clicking the appropriate link and enter the device code displayed by Iperius. Then log in to the Microsoft website using your Microsoft 365 account until final confirmation:
Now go back to the previous window, click on the “Connect” button and then on “Next”.
Account Selection
In the next panel, you can select the OneDrive accounts you want to back up (i.e., download) and proceed by clicking “Next.”
In the next panel, you need to specify some important parameters for the backup: the backup type and the destination folder.
Iperius can perform full, incremental or differential backups , also choosing the number of copies to keep.
Choose the local or network folder where the download will be made.
You can then configure numerous filters , for example to exclude very large files or include only files with certain extensions.
The last option in the window, the choice to copy downloaded items to the backup job’s destinations, is used to create an additional backup copy of the downloaded item. For example, to a NAS or a cloud service like Azure Storage or Amazon S3. These additional destinations can be specified in the next panel of the backup job configuration (“Destinations”).
Configuring additional destinations (optional)
You can add one or more destinations to make an additional copy of downloaded Microsoft 365 items:
You can then configure the schedule and additional options such as email notifications at the end of the backup.
Starting the backup
Once you’ve configured the backup job, you’ll find it in the Iperius backup job list.
You can immediately start the backup by right-clicking on the newly configured backup job and clicking “Run.”
