When You Can Perform Backups

• On a schedule: The server plan that you assign manages scheduled backups

  For new customers who onboard after April 19, 2024, two schedules are created for each Office 365 Server Plan during the onboarding process. Existing customers will continue to use the same single schedule. The two new schedules work as follows:

  • Schedule 1: A backup job for items that do not meet SLA runs once every 8 hours. The job commits after 32 hours. All items that were never backed up or backed-up items that are older than 30 days are included in the backup.

  • Schedule 2: A backup job for items that meet SLA but were not recently backed up runs once very 8 hours. The job commits after 22 hours. All items that are more than 17 hours old and less than 30 days old are included in the backup.

• On demand: You can perform on-demand backups at any time

Restores

Backups You Can Use for Restores

• The most recent backup: For example, restore the most recent backup to its original location

• A backup from a specific date: For example, restore data to a point in time before it became unusable

• Backups from a date range: For example, restore data that was accidentally deleted

Destinations You Can Restore To

• The current location (in place)

• A different folder on the same app (out of place)

• A different OneDrive for Business app (out of place)
