Getting started
An overview of how to connect your first sources, set policies and restore data. Detailed guides are available in the console after sign-up.
Connect Microsoft 365
- In the console, open Sources → Add source → Microsoft 365.
- Sign in with a Global Administrator account and approve the requested application permissions. The account is used only for consent and is not stored.
- Select which users, groups, sites and teams to protect, or enable auto-add to include new users automatically.
The first full backup usually completes within 24–72 hours, depending on data volume. Incremental backups follow on schedule.
Connect Google Workspace
- Open Sources → Add source → Google Workspace and copy the client ID and scopes shown.
- In the Google Admin console, go to Security → API controls → Domain-wide delegation and add the client ID with those scopes.
- Return to the console, enter your primary domain and an administrator email, and select organisational units to protect.
Install the agent
Servers and laptops are protected by a lightweight agent. Download links and a one-time enrolment token are shown under Sources → Devices.
Linux
Packages are provided for Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL and compatible distributions. After installing, enrol the machine with the token:
itmendo-backup enroll --token <TOKEN>
Windows and macOS
Run the installer and paste the token when prompted, or deploy silently through Intune, Jamf or Group Policy with the token as a parameter.
Policies and retention
A policy defines what to back up, how often and how long to keep versions. New accounts start with the Standard policy: four backups a day for cloud apps, daily for servers, one year of retention. You can create additional policies and assign them per group or device.
Restoring data
- Browse to a user, site or device and pick a date from the timeline.
- Select individual items or whole folders.
- Choose a target: the original location, another user or device, or a download.
Restores never overwrite existing items unless you explicitly choose to replace them.
