#Azure DevOps Projects

To protect your Azure DevOps projects using AvePoint Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS, follow these steps:

1. Connect your tenant.

   • If you want to protect your Microsoft Entra tenant via AvePoint services, your tenant owner or service administrators must first connect the tenant to AvePoint Online Services. See for details.

2. Configure the service app profile.

   • Set up the app profile for the service app required to protect Azure DevOps data. Use your Microsoft 365 Global Admin Account to consent to the application. See Create a Service App and Grant Consent for details.

3. Create the backup scope.

   • Navigate to Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS > Backup page and create a backup scope for Azure DevOps. Define the protected organizations, configure the backup start time, and ensure the data retention policy and backup schedule meet your organization’s needs. See Create a New Backup Scope for Azure DevOps for details.

     *Note: With a trial subscription, you can create one backup scope to protect up to 5 projects

4. Monitor and manage backups.

   • Regularly monitor the backup status and ensure that backups are running as scheduled. See Monitor Your Backup for details.

   • Use the Backup Analysis report to monitor your backup statistics. See for details.

5. Test restores.

   • Periodically test the restore process to ensure that you can recover data quickly and accurately. See Restore Azure DevOps Organizations for details.
