Creating an Office 365 Backup Set for SharePoint

To create an Office 365 backup set on the SharePoint Server, complete the following steps:

   Note

   Do not create an Office 365 backup set and an On Premise backup set on the same computer.

   The Create New Backup Set dialog box appears.

3. In the New Backup Set Name box, type a name for the backup set.

4. In the Choose Backup Set Type section, select Office 365.

5. Type your login credentials for the SharePoint online administrator user account that can connect to the tenant.

   If you have two-factor authentication enabled, generate an app password and use the app password to connect to the tenant.

   For steps about generating an app password, go to Microsoft Office documentation, Create an app password for Office 365.

   Note

   SharePoint online administrator user account is used to fetch the count of licensed users from Microsoft.
