The first thing to remember is that in order to recover an item, you need to have performed OneDrive backup with Xopero ONE first. To see how to backup Microsoft 365 with Xopero ONE<\/a> check out our previous article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this site, you have a view of your Microsoft 365 organization in Xopero ONE. You can see the number of users with enabled protection, what backup plans have been assigned to that organization, and how the last backup went. As you can see in my last performed backup, there were problems with 7 users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our organization has been assigned a Microsoft 365 Total Protection backup plan, which means that all of the users\u2019 Mailboxes, Calendars, Contacts, and OneDrive files have been backed up. In this case, we will recover a OneDrive item for a user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to restore items, on the bottom right side of the organization panel click Manage & Restore.<\/strong> A list of all users in your Microsoft 365 organization will be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
