How to backup OneDrive - SAFE C2C

Our SAFE C2C (Cloud to Cloud) backup solution is perfect for backing up your cloud solutions to our cloud storage. We can backup numerous products, including SharePoint, G Suite/Google workspace, Dropbox, Office365 Exchange, Salesforce and many more.

For this guide, we will be focusing on how to backup OneDrive.

1. Login to your SAFE C2C portal, on the “homepage” you will see the below if you do not have any tasks setup. If you have tasks you will see an “add backup task” button top right.





a. If you select “add backup task” you will be asked to select the type on the next page.



2. Fill in the name of the backup task, this name is used in notifications and on reports and can be changed later. Click Authenticate to start the process of granting the access token. You will be redirected to the Microsoft sign-in page. The user you enter must have Global Admin permissions.



3. From here you can customise the following on the backup:

1. You can change the name of the backup task at the top via the pencil icon.
2. The Connected/Disconnected icon indicates if the application has been able to connect to the account. If the authentication token granted for the application becomes invalid (e.g. it expires due to inactivity) the Connected icon changes to the Disconnected icon. To grant the application a new token, click on the icon to open the authentication dialog, and repeat the authentication process.
3. By default, the “Index all data for Search” option is selected, which enables the granular search and restore functionality. In the process, your data is temporarily decrypted for a brief period of time, and then re-encrypted once the index is built. If this goes against your company policy and you would like to disable automatic indexing, please contact us on support@safedatastorage.co.uk
4. The Automatically activate new sites option instructs the system to detect new teams and groups, and activate them automatically.
5. Backups are automatically archived when an entire site is deleted. The Retain auto-archived backups option allows you to retain them for a specified number of days, after which they will be deleted. Otherwise, the backups will be retained indefinitely.
6. The “Backup Data Center” and “Retention Period” fields cannot be changed here. The Backup Data Center field displays the Data Center location you selected when you signed up with your registration. The Retention Period field displays whether a retention period has been set up. By default, we provide unlimited retention of your daily backups for as long as you maintain your account subscription. You can override this default and specify a retention period in days, months, or years by submitting a support ticket. Backups older than the retention period specified will be automatically deleted.
7. Backup Frequency and Backup Hour, using the drop down lists you can select the frequency to run the backups (e.g. Daily, Every 3 days, Weekly) and then the time in which you want the backup to run.
