Hi!
I tried to mark OneDrive client files for backup, by Microsoft Azure Backup (MARSAgentInstalle). Files are not visible, does anyone know the reason?
I would actually like to back up my document center to Sharepoint Online.
Is there another better way?

Tks !

    @Luiz Cataldo Thank you for reaching out to us!

    Short answer: Azure backup doesn't support backup of OneDrive and SharePoint directly. Here is a feedback item - https://feedback.azure.com/forums/258995-azure-backup/suggestions/36632707-azure-backup-to-support-onedrive you can up-vote with your requirement to relay the same to the product group.

    However, you can back up a SharePoint farm to Azure with MABS - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-backup-sharepoint-mabs#:~:text=Restore%20SharePoint%20Database%20from%20Azure%201%20To%20recover,Recatalog%20status%20window%20opens.After%20cataloging%20is...%20See%20More.

    FYI: The list of services that you can backup by using the Azure Backup service.

    On-premises - Back up files, folders, system state using the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent. Or use the DPM or Azure Backup Server (MABS) agent to protect on-premises VMs (Hyper-V and VMWare) and other on-premises workloads

    Azure VMs - Back up entire Windows/Linux VMs (using backup extensions) or back up files, folders, and system state using the MARS agent.

    Azure Files shares - Back up Azure File shares to a storage account

    SQL Server in Azure VMs - Back up SQL Server databases running on Azure VMs

    SAP HANA databases in Azure VMs - Backup SAP HANA databases running on Azure VMs
