Recover User OneDrives

To recover protected Microsoft 365 user OneDrives:

  1. In DataProtect as a Service, go to Sources to set up your recovery task.

  2. Click into the Source name and select the OneDrive tab.

  3. Above the tree, select Protection Status > Protected.

  4. Use the search and filter options to find and select the OneDrive you need, click the Actions (⋮) menu on that row, and select Recover OneDrive to open the New Recovery form with the Latest snapshot (protection run).

  5. In the New Recovery form, if you need to add more OneDrives and/or recover from an earlier backup, click the Edit icon in the top right of the form.

    • To add OneDrives, enter a Search term on the left, locate the other OneDrives, and select them.

    • To use a different Recovery Point for a OneDrive, click the Edit icon on the tile for that OneDrive. Find the recovery point you need and click Select Recovery Point.

    Click Next: Recover Options to return to the form.

  6. Under Recover To, select Original Location or New Location.

    If you choose New Location, select a Registered Source and the Target OneDrive.

  7. Select your Recovery Options:

    • Continue on Error. Enable to recover even if errors occur when recovering OneDrives. For example, if one of the OneDrives cannot be recovered, Cohesity will still attempt to recover the other selected OneDrives.

    • Include Preservation Hold Library. Enable to recover the Preservation Hold Library that is part of the Cohesity snapshot. Recovering the Preservation Hold Library data may increase the recovery time substantially as it can include a large amount of data. The recovery will fail if the Target Location does not have sufficient space.

      This is a Private Preview feature. Private Preview was termed as Early Access in the earlier releases. Contact your Cohesity account team to enable the feature.

    • Task Name. Change the default name of the recovery task.

  8. Click Start Recovery.

Next > Protect your Microsoft 365 Mailboxes, SharePoint Online Sites, and Teams so you can recover them easily when you need to, as well!
