Project Online

Project Online service cannot protect the Project for the web data and cannot fully support the data added through Microsoft 365 subscription Project Online desktop client. For example, custom fields.

If you would like to filter the folders within the site collections of Project Online services, you can contact IBM Software Support for assistance. Note that if your subscription to IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft™ 365 is based on the protected data size, the total consumed data size in your subscription will not be affected by the filter policy. IBM will not exclude the size of the filtered items from the total consumed data size.

You can now use an app profile to scan the Project Online site collections. In this way, the service account does not require the Site Collection Administrator role. However, the Project Online data cannot be protected in the app context (using app profile authentication). Therefore, a service account with enough permissions is still required for the backup and restore for Project Online. For the required permissions of a service account, refer to Service Account Authentication.

Once the app profile and the service account is ready, you can navigate to the Auto discovery page to create a scan profile for Project Online site collections. After the Auto discovery scan job is completed, you can go to IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Microsoft 365 interface to enable the backup service.
