Adding backup jobs (connectors) for Teams site collections and data
Define a backup and a storage strategy before adding a connector for your Teams site collections. Decide on what type of data you want to backup. For example, if you want to back up all SharePoint site collections or only specific ones. Determine if you want to exclude any items from the backup, which versions to include, and whether to back up permission settings, columns, and content types. Additionally, you must have a strategy for implementing the policy to delete the original content from the SharePoint Online.
You must register apps in the Entra ID (Azure AD) associated with your M365 subscription and Veritas Alta™ SaaS Protection. This registration process provides the credentials, client ID, and client secret to authenticate and authorize your apps. The two modes for registering the apps are described in the following table.
Table:
Modes for registering the apps | Description | Reference links |
---|---|---|
Manual app registration | When you add a connector using this mode, you need to manually register apps in the Azure AD portal and provide the client ID and secret. | |
M365 app registration | When you add a connector using this mode, you need to use the apps that are registered for your tenant by Veritas. You only need to grant the required API permissions to the registered apps. | See Granting admin consent manually. or See Granting multiple admin consents using the App Consent Grant utility. |
For any further information, contact Veritas Support.
