Cloud-to-Cloud Backup
Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) backup is designed to protect your organization’s SaaS data — Microsoft 365 mailboxes, OneDrive files, SharePoint sites, and Google Workspace Drive content — using delta sync for incremental updates. You can connect a Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant and define a backup configuration today, but syncing and restoring data is not yet implemented — see Running a Sync below.
Connecting Microsoft 365
Section titled “Connecting Microsoft 365”Two authentication modes are available depending on your Breeze deployment:
If your Breeze instance has C2C_M365_CLIENT_ID and C2C_M365_CLIENT_SECRET configured, the one-click consent flow is available.
- Go to the C2C section in Breeze.
- Click Grant Access (or Connect Microsoft 365).
- You’re redirected to Microsoft’s admin consent screen.
- Sign in with a Microsoft 365 admin account and grant the requested permissions.
- Microsoft redirects back to Breeze. The connection is created automatically.
If the platform app isn’t configured, the connection wizard prompts you to register an Azure AD app manually.
- In the Azure portal, register a new app and grant the required Graph API permissions.
- In Breeze, open the C2C connection wizard.
- Enter the Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID from your Azure AD app.
- Click Connect.
Connecting Google Workspace
Section titled “Connecting Google Workspace”Google Workspace backup requires a service account with domain-wide delegation.
- In the Google Cloud Console, create a service account and enable domain-wide delegation.
- In your Google Workspace admin console, authorize the service account’s client ID with the required scopes.
- In Breeze, open the C2C connection wizard and select Google Workspace.
- Upload the service account key file.
- Click Connect.
Managing Connections
Section titled “Managing Connections”Once connected, your C2C connections appear in the connections list showing:
- Provider (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace)
- Connection status
- Last sync time
- Number of accounts/sites backed up
Configuring Backup Scope
Section titled “Configuring Backup Scope”After connecting, create a backup configuration to define what gets backed up:
- Click Add Backup Config in the C2C section.
- Select the connection to use.
- Choose what to include:
- Mailboxes — select specific users or all users
- OneDrive / Google Drive — file storage for selected users
- SharePoint sites — select specific sites (Microsoft 365 only)
- Set a sync schedule (how often to pull changes).
- Click Save.
