Considerations for adding SharePoint/Teams Sites/OneDrive connectors for Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo tenant
Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection supports the backup and restore of SharePoint sites, Teams sites, and OneDrive for Microsoft 365 tenants configured across multiple geographic locations by creating separate connectors for each location and backup requirement. During the connector configuration, ensure that the correct URL is specified.
A Microsoft 365 tenant's default location is North America, with an additional location in Europe. This tenant has OneDrive, Teams sites, and SharePoint sites at both locations. To configure the connectors appropriately for the following backup requirements, create one connector per location that is one for North America (the default location) and another for Europe. Use the URLs specified in the following table.
Table:
Backup requirements | Location | Admin Site URLs for SharePoint and Teams sites | URLs for OneDrive |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America |
https://<company>-admin.sharepoint.com |
|
Europe | https://<company>EUR-admin.sharepoint.com |
|
Refer to the links in the following table to add connectors.
Table:
Connectors | Reference links to add connectors |
