Protecting Exchange Online mailboxes

What items can be backed up?

You can back up user mailboxes and shared mailboxes. Group mailboxes and archive mailboxes (In-Place Archive) cannot be backed up.

What items can be recovered?

The following items can be recovered from a mailbox backup:

  • Mailboxes
  • Email folders
  • Email messages
  • Calendar events
  • Tasks
  • Contacts
  • Journal entries
  • Notes

You can use search to locate the items.

When a mailbox is recovered to an existing mailbox, the existing items with matching IDs are overwritten.

Recovery of mailbox items does not overwrite anything. Instead, the full path to a mailbox item is recreated in the target folder.
