Enable Backup for Azure DevOps

Before you begin

To back up the Azure DevOps, you can choose to create a service app, or use a custom Azure app with Azure DevOps API user_impersonation permission. For details on creating a custom Azure app in your tenant, refer to Create a Custom Azure App.

Procedure

Complete the steps below:

  1. Before you enable the backup service for Azure DevOps, go to IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud to configure a service app profile for that Microsoft 365 tenant. For detailed instructions on creating a service app profile, refer to Create a Service App and Grant the Consent.
  2. After the service app is ready, go to the Backup page of the IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Azure VMs, Storage, and Entra ID to configure the backup scope for the Azure DevOps. Note that if you have multiple tenants to protect, you must create a service app for each of them.

    For details on configuring the backup scope, refer to Create a New Backup Scope for Azure DevOps.

    Note: Before you back up your organizations in IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Azure VMs, Storage, and Entra ID, you must first log into your organizations with the account for which the app profile was configured.
