Multi-tenant support
Plug‑in for Microsoft 365 features multi-tenant support, which lets you backup and restore data for multiple tenants. Multi-tenant support also provides the following advantages:
|
• |
Cost savings for managed service providers (MSPs) due to a single plug-in deployment for managing multiple tenants. |
|
• |
Instant recovery with a new domain in the case of a ransomware attack on your existing domain. |
|
• |
Cross-tenant restores, which you can use in cases of mergers and acquisitions. For more information about cross-tenant relocation, see The mailbox is restored with its new name to the original location as a subset of the original mailbox.. |
To view all tenants, use the Open action in the click menu of the plug-in under NetVault Selections.
This section includes the following processes:

Improving backup and restore performance by modifying parameters in the configuration file
If you want to manage the performance of backup and restore jobs for Microsoft Outlook, SharePoint Online, Teams, and OneDrive accounts, you can modify the following parameters in the “nvoffice.cfg” file. The default location of this file is C:\Program Files\Quest\NetVault\config.
The values that you use depend on the value that you select for the Enable multi-streaming options for backup and restore jobs, as well as the bandwidth supported by your network.
The following tables list the parameters, their default settings, and a description of their impact.
|
Indicates the number of times that the plug-in runs GRAPH API after a failure occurs. | ||
|
Indicates how long the plug-in should wait before running GRAPH API again after a failure occurs. |
|
Indicates the Chunk Size that can be used to restore — upload — mail attachments and attachments of type Event in chunks over OneDrive. The Chunk Size must be a multiple of 320 KiB (327,680 bytes). Using a Chunk Size that does not divide evenly by 320 KiB results in errors when committing some the files. You can increase this value to increase the data-transfer rate, depending on the network bandwidth. If you exceed a supported rate, the GRAPH API might generate a TIMEOUT exception. |

Backing up data
Defining a backup-and-recovery strategy
A strategy is divided into two pieces: a backup piece and a restore piece.
The plug-in provides the following types of backup:
|
• |
Full Backups only: You can choose to perform only Full Backups if the backup size is small, the backup window is not an issue, or storage media is not a constraint. In such scenarios, you can schedule Full Backups every night or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
|
• |
Full and Incremental Backups: For quicker backups and minimum use of storage media, you can include Full and Incremental Backups in your strategy. For example, you can schedule Full Backups every Sunday and Incremental Backups every day or every N hours depending on the frequency of updates. |
|
• |
Continuous Data Backups: Continuous data protection (CDP) occurs when NetVault takes an initial full backup of a selection set and then takes a series of incremental backups to capture the changes of the selection set before it combines the backups into a synthetic full backup. |
