Microsoft 365 OneDrive for Business backup

VaultFuzion backs up every user’s OneDrive for Business agentlessly through the Microsoft Graph API — files, the folder structure, and version history where Microsoft exposes it — with file-level and point-in-time restore into storage you own. One console covers every licensed user across every client tenant.

What gets captured

Files and folders

Documents and the folder hierarchy around them, so a restore rebuilds the structure, not just a flat pile of files.

Version history

Earlier versions of a file where Microsoft Graph exposes them — so you can roll back to a prior state, not only recover the latest.

Per-user, at scale

Every licensed user’s drive, captured on a schedule from one multi-tenant console — no per-device agent, no per-user setup.

How restore works

Restore at the grain you need: a single file, a folder, or an entire OneDrive. Side-by-side drops the recovery into a separate location and leaves live data untouched — the safe default, and the right one when a user only needs one file back. In-place returns data to where it was. Exact-state reverts a drive to precisely how it looked at a chosen point in time, which is the mode you want after a sync-client mishap or a ransomware event that rewrote a folder.

The honest part

The OneDrive Recycle Bin is a time-boxed safety net, not a backup: it empties on a schedule and does not survive account deletion. When an employee leaves and the licence is removed, Microsoft reclaims and eventually purges the drive — a backup taken while the account was active is what lets you hand that data back months later. And as with every workload, point-in-time granularity is bounded by your backup frequency.

Frequently asked questions

What does VaultFuzion back up in OneDrive for Business?

Every user’s OneDrive: files and the folder structure that holds them, with version history where Microsoft exposes it. Capture is agentless through the Microsoft Graph API — there is nothing to install on the endpoint, and it runs for every licensed user from one console.

Can I restore one file, or do I have to restore the whole drive?

Either. Restore a single file, a folder, or an entire OneDrive, from any point in time you captured — which matters most when a departing employee’s drive has to come back cleanly.

Does it keep previous versions of a file?

Yes, where Microsoft Graph exposes version history for the item, so you can roll a file back to an earlier version rather than only recovering the latest state.

Isn’t the OneDrive Recycle Bin enough?

The Recycle Bin is a short, time-boxed safety net, not a backup — it empties on a schedule and does not survive account deletion or a tenant-level problem. A backup in storage you own has no such expiry and is independent of the tenant.

What happens to a OneDrive when the employee leaves?

Microsoft reclaims and eventually deletes the drive after the licence is removed. A backup taken while the account was active lets you restore that data later — side-by-side into another location, or back in place — long after Microsoft would have purged it.

Where is the backup stored?

In your own S3-compatible bucket (bring-your-own-storage): you choose the region and own the data and egress. Direct customers can use a bucket VaultFuzion provides, billed at cost.
