#AvePoint Cloud Backup Express

Powered by Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, Microsoft is responsible for maintaining the backup policy to generate the recovery points, and the recovery points will be synced to AvePoint Cloud Backup Express every 6 hours. The backup status on the Backup page will also be updated every 6 hours.

#Overview of Setup and Requirements

To get started, activate your Microsoft 365 tenant in AvePoint Cloud Backup Express. If your tenant is already managed by another backup service, it will be deactivated from that service and enter a temporary transition period. During this time, you can configure backup settings. The first backup will start automatically when the transition period ends.

To protect Exchange Online mailboxes, SharePoint Online site collections, OneDrive, Team sites, and Group sites, configure a Cloud Backup Express service app to enable Auto Discovery and data protection.

Note the following:

• Cloud Backup Express does not support protecting private and shared channel sites.

• Cloud Backup Express does not support protecting room mailboxes, resource mailboxes, and in-place archive mailboxes.

For details on creating an app profile, refer to Create an App Profile. For the app permissions, refer to Required Permissions of AvePoint Cloud Backup Express App.
