Backing up Microsoft 365 data

After your Microsoft 365 organization is registered with IBM Spectrum® Protect Plus, you can apply a service level agreement (SLA) policy to start protecting the Microsoft 365 data.

1. In the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus navigation panel, expand Manage Protection > Cloud Management > Microsoft 365.
2. Select the checkbox for the organization.
3. Click Select an SLA policy and choose an SLA policy.
   For more information about SLA policies, see Create backup policies.
4. Save your choice. To define a new SLA or to edit an existing policy with custom retention periods or backup frequency rates, click Manage Protection > Policy Overview. In the "SLA policies" pane, click Add SLA Policy, and define policy preferences.
   Tip: Some options in the Policy Options field in the SLA Policy Status section differ in availability based on backup type.
5. To run the policy outside the scheduled job, take the following actions:
   1. To back up all organization data, select the checkbox for the organization.
   2. To back up data from an account, click Organization and select the checkbox for the user name that is associated with the account.
   3. To back up email, calendars, contacts, or OneDrive data for an account, click Organization, click area that you want to protect, and then click the user name and select the checkbox for the email, calendar, contacts, or OneDrive to back up.
6. Click Run. The status changes to running for the SLA and you can follow the progress of the job in the log.
