An overview of Microsoft 365 backup plans in Xopero ONE.
In Xopero ONE, creating a backup plan allows you to define what data should be protected, where backups are stored, and how often they are performed.
General information
A Microsoft 365 backup plan in Xopero ONE defines which data is protected, how frequently backups are performed, and how long recovery points are retained. A dedicated Microsoft 365 backup plan enables protection of mailboxes, OneDrive resources, and SharePoint sites while applying automated schedules and granular retention policies that align with organizational data protection and compliance requirements.
To optimize backup tasks, Xopero ONE Management Service provides several advanced features that enable flexible configuration based on specific infrastructure requirements. When creating a backup plan, you can customize settings such as backup windows, task balancing, storage locations, bandwidth limits, and more.
Selective backup configuration
Xopero ONE provides granular control over Microsoft 365 backups. Instead of backing up an entire environment, you can selectively target specific data types—such as messages, calendars, or contacts—to optimize storage capacity and focus exclusively on critical assets.
Microsoft 365 groups
Xopero ONE supports Microsoft 365 groups — they appear in the users list (for example, when creating a backup plan) and can be used to filter it.
If you cannot see the Groups field andthe Search by group option is unavailable in Xopero ONE Management Service, re-register your Microsoft 365 organization to enable these options.
