You can explore and restore data from backups in the Restore Portal. As an end user, you perform a self-service data restore. As a restore operator, you investigate and restore backed-up data for objects that you have permission to manage.
he REST API and Restore Portal can be configured on a separate Server.
Restore operators can explore and restore data from backups created by Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
The Restore Portal allows users and restores operators to view and restore data from backups. Restore Portal settings must be configured to allow users to perform the self-service restore.
The REST API is used to communicate with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Restore Portal also uses the REST API to communicate with the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server. In addition, the restore Portal allows users to perform the self-service restore.
Configuring a restore portal is beneficial in a multi-tenant configuration and for organizations that want to limit access to the Veeam Backup for Office 365 console and delegate responsibilities such as restores.
Authentication settings can be configured on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server for tenants and restore operators.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 extends data protection and follows the same methodology as Veeam Backup and Replication. This 3-2-1-1-0 rule can also be applied to backup repositories in cloud-based object storage using Backup Copy Jobs: Azure Blob Storage Archive access tier, Amazon S3 Glacier storage class, or Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class.
The procedure creates a backup job to backup the organization objects to Azure Blob Cool Tier repositories.
When adding Microsoft Azure Blob storage, different storage account types can be used for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
This procedure upgrades a Windows Server 2012 R2 generation Hyper-V virtual machine to Windows Server 2019 (2022) generation 2 Hyper-V virtual machine.
The Azure archiver appliance is a small auxiliary machine in Microsoft Azure that is deployed and configured automatically by Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Veeam services that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 installs on the Azure archiver appliance compress data passed through. This helps reduce network traffic and increase the speed of backup copy.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 supports different Azure storage account types for standard and premium performance tiers. Tables in this section list the supported storage account types.
Microsoft is ending support for the Azure Active Directory Graph API. To allow for continued service, if your application providers migrate all Azure Active Directory Synchronization integrations to the MS Graph API, you need to change your API permissions.

If you try to add organization at Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, it happens Connect to PowerShell: Connecting to remote server outlook.office365.com failed with the following error message: Access is denied error, that’s because Microsoft begin disabling Basic authentication for Outlook, EWS, RPS, POP, IMAP, and EAS protocols in Exchange Online.
You are required to provide a username and password to authenticate to your Microsoft 365 organization if you add an organization using the basic authentication method.
I won’t recommend adding organization with basic authentication, Microsoft announced that effective October 1, 2022, we will begin disabling Basic authentication for Outlook, EWS, RPS, POP, IMAP, and EAS protocols in Exchange Online. SMTP Auth will also be disabled if it is not being used.
