Export OneDrive Data

With IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365, you can export the backup data for the OneDrive libraries, folders, and documents.

Complete the steps below to export the backup data of OneDrive:

1. Navigate to the Restore > IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Backuppage, and then click the OneDrive tile.
2. Select the items that you want to export. You can choose one of the following methods to find the data to export:

   • Search mode – Define a OneDrive address as the search scope and then use the properties to search for the items within the scope. Note that this method does not support searching and restoring the list items.

     Refer to the steps below:

     1. In the Name field, enter or select a OneDrive address or display name to search. The default search condition is to search the backup data for that OneDrive Address within the last backup cycle. The drop-down list will remind you of OneDrive accounts with unusual activities or under ransomware attacks.
     2. In the Backup Time Range field, the time range of the last backup cycle is displayed by default. Click the Calendar () button to customize the backup time range. The start date must be earlier than the end date. You can click Reset if you want to reset the settings. Click OK to save your customization.
     3. Select OneDrive User, Library, Folder, or Document from the Level list for the items you want to search. If you want to search for all sites, lists or libraries, folders, or the documents of that OneDrive user, you can leave the search conditions empty. To search for specific libraries or folders, enter the title or name or the keywords for search; to search for the specific Document-level items, you can choose whether to search for Suspicious files under potential ransomware attacks or File deleted in unusual activities in File type and configure the following search conditions: Document Name, Created Date, Created By, Modified By, or Document Size.
     4. Click Search to search the items according to the conditions you configured. The search conditions and the search results are displayed. The search results table will display a maximum of 2000 items. You can edit the search conditions and click Search to adjust the search results.
     5. Find and select the item you want to export from the search results. In the drop-down list under the Recovery Point column, select a backup job that backed up this item at the status that you want to export. The recovery points of the objects with unusual activities detected or potential ransomware attack detected will be displayed with (Unusual activities detected) or (Potential ransomware attack detected).

   • Calendar mode – Find a backup job that backed up the items at the time of the status you want to export, and then search and select the items from the backup data of that backup job.

     1. In the calendar, all OneDrive backup jobs are displayed. You can select whether to display the failed jobs or jobs that finished with an exception in the calendar by selecting the Include jobs with only partial backup data option. Note that the data of these jobs may be incomplete. Hover over a backup job to show the backup job details.
     2. Select a backup job. All backup data for OneDrive, up to a maximum of 2000 items, is displayed in the table. You can select the Show data from this backup only option (historical data in this scope from previous backups not included) to only show the data backed up in the selected backup job. Objects with unusual activities detected or potential ransomware attack detected will be displayed with (Unusual activities detected) or (Potential ransomware attack detected).
     3. You can enter keywords to search the items that you can click the backup data to browse the items you want to export.
