•

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..

Improving backup and restore performance by using multiple applications for multiple endpoints

To reduce graph API throttling at large scale enterprise, register endpoint specific application in AzureAD.

For Ex: Azure-App-Outlook for Outlook endpoint, Azure-App-OneDrive for OneDrive endpoint, etc.

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.

Table 1. Parameters supported for network resilience
Parameter	Default	Description
Resiliency:Retry Count	3	Indicates the number of times that the plug-in runs GRAPH API after a failure occurs.
Resiliency:Retry Delay	5 (in seconds)	Indicates how long the plug-in should wait before running GRAPH API again after a failure occurs.

Table 2. Parameters supported for Outlook
Parameter	Default	Description
MsOutlook:Mails Without Attachment	1000	Indicates the number of email messages that one GRAPH API call can fetch of emails that do not have attachments. The 1000 value is the maximum allowed.
