Review the Prerequisite and Considerations

Review the following prerequisites and considerations before you create a OneDrive Backup Plan.

Creating a OneDrive Backup Plan:

Prerequisite:

• Running PowerShell script is enabled on the proxy server. If not enabled, then run the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
• Proxy server must connect to Microsoft Azure.

Consideration:

Microsoft Cloud services are different for national clouds of Germany, China, and US Government. For details, refer to the link. You need to modify the setting when deploying product in these regions.

Follow these steps:

• Open the config file whose path is $UDP Installation Path.

$/Engine/Bin/Office365/Arcserve.Office365.Onedrive.json

• Find the setting Region, and set the value to Germany, China or US Government.

Default value: Normal

Creating a OneDrive Backup Plan Using Basic Authentication (BA):

Note: If your Microsoft 365 account does not have OneDrive enabled, and you request for a backup using Basic Authentication, the backup job is incomplete. To complete backup, switch to Modern Authentication.

Review the following:

• Install PowerShell Version 5.1 or higher (part of Windows management framework (WMF)) on the proxy server (64-bit computer).

• Install the following PowerShell modules on the proxy server using the PowerShell window:

  • To install Azure module, run the following command:
  • Install-Module -Name AzureAD -Force
  • To install ExchangeOnlineManagement module, run the following command:
  • Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -Force

  Note: When you install PowerShell modules using the above commands, a newer version of modules may get installed based on the GA version of the component available in the Microsoft repository.

Creating a OneDrive Backup Plan Using Modern Authentication (MA):

Review the Prerequisites before you create a plan using Modern Authentication.
