Backup from OneDrive to your own S3 bucket

Overview

• OneDrive from the M365 suite of products contains important documents that need to be frequently backed up.
• Using the LegacyFlo OneDrive-S3-ZIP request type, you can now backup files from any user's OneDrive to a S3 bucket in your AWS account.

Step 1: Preparing your S3 bucket

A. Create an S3 bucket on AWS

Create your S3 bucket in a supported region and allow list and write access to LegacyFlo. The steps for the same are given in the links below:

1. Get an AWS account.
2. Create an S3 bucket in a region supported by Mithi. 
3. Allow list and write access to LegacyFlo.

B. Register your S3 bucket as a destination S3 bucket on LegacyFlo

For LegacyFlo to upload data to your S3 bucket, it needs to be added to as a destination S3 bucket in LegacyFlo. The steps for doing the same are as given below:

1. Login to LegacyFlo
2. Select Add Request
3. On the left pane,
   1. Give a dummy title 
   2. Select MITHI-S3-ZIP as the Request Type
4. In the section on Destination Information, 
   3. Click the [+] icon next to S3 Bucket Name
   4. On the Prepare Bucket page, you will be shown the list of steps to be completed to create and grant access to the S3 bucket. Confirm that you have done as instructed and click on I confirm that the above configuration is complete.
   5. Click Continue
   6. On the Configure, Verify & Save page,  give the Bucket Name and select the Bucket Region.
   7. Click Verify. LegacyFlo will check the access to the bucket.
   8. If LegacyFlo cannot access the bucket, you will be shown an error message similar to All access to this object has been disabled. Check S3 access rights and name and retry.
   9. If the connection is successful then click on Save. LegacyFlo will remember this S3 for further requests.

Step 2: Getting access to the OneDrive data

This is a two-step process, in which you generate the API key (one time) and grant OneDrive access for all the accounts whose OneDrive data needs to be accessed

Step 1: Get access to the M365 Graph API

Step 2: Make the user's OneDrive content available for access via the API(This step has to be done for all users whose OneDrive data needs to be accessed.)

Step 3: Submitting a LegacyFlo request

You can submit requests to back up OneDrive data using the LegacyFlo interface.

The request type to be used is OneDrive-S3-ZIP.

The parameters for the request are as follows:

Source Information

Filter Information

Other Information

Destination Information

Step 3 (optional): Submitting multiple LegacyFlo requests to backup data for multiple users

To upload multiple jobs using a CSV, create a CSV file with a list of all the users and other details required to upload data.
