Migrating Authentication of Microsoft 365 Backup Set

After upgrading to CloudBacko Lite v5 or above, Microsoft 365 backup settings of existing backup sets must be updated. This will ensure that moving forward there will be no backup and restore issues to be encountered once Microsoft implements its product roadmap for Modern Authentication. This only needs to be done once per Microsoft 365 user account.

To update the backup settings:

  1. Logout all Microsoft 365 account on the default browser before starting the update of backup set.
  2. In the CloudBacko Lite main interface, click Backup Sets.
  3. Select the backup set that you want to update.
  4. If the backup set is using Basic Authentication, a pop up message will be displayed. Click [Continue].
    If the backup set is using Modern or Hybrid Authentication, click [Change settings] then [Next].
  5. Click [Authorize].
  6. Sign in to your account.
  7. If MFA is enforced, select either [Text] or [Call] to verify your identity. Otherwise proceed to the next step.
  8. !

    Verification will only be required if the MFA status of a Microsoft 365 account is enforced.

  9. Copy the authorization code.
  10. Go back to CloudBacko Lite and paste the authorization code. Click [OK] to proceed.
  11. Click [Save] to finish the update.
