Troubleshooting Cloud Backup
Even with the most reliable systems, backups can fail. This could happen when there are missing Admin consent/app permissions, for example.
On a Syncro Tenant's Details Page, an icon will appear next to the Last Backup timestamp for each Service with an error; an action may also appear in the banner at the top to help you resolve it:

Here are the potential error states you might encounter:
| Message | Banner Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| There was an issue with a recent backup. | Learn More |
Note: You must either be a Global Administrator or have the “Restore & Manage Backup Data” security permission to resolve this error.
Opens the Alerts page in the Backup Portal where you can view and acknowledge backup alerts. All active alerts display by default.
Tips:
|
| Consent failed. Reconfigure to regrant consent and reenable backups for this tenant. | Reconfigure |
Note: You must either be a Global Administrator or have the “Configure Backups” security permission to resolve this error. Opens the Microsoft account sign-in page so you can go back through the onboarding process to enable the backup for this tenant. |
| A sync error has occurred. Wait several minutes and refresh the page. | N/A |
A temporary disruption has occurred between the Backup Portal and the backup server. No data has been lost or damaged; the system just cannot access it at this time. As a result, the information and the Restore buttons in the Cloud Backup table may be grayed out and temporarily unavailable. Wait a few minutes and refresh the page. |
| No data backed up for this tenant. | N/A | The onboarding process to enable the backup for this tenant may have been interrupted, or was not successfully completed. Click Enable to start again. |
| Cloud backup could not be enabled. | N/A |
If you attempt to configure backup for a Microsoft Tenant that is already being backed up with another Syncro Tenant, you'll receive an error. To resolve it:

Notes:
- Cloud Backup can be enabled and active for a Syncro Tenant even if it no longer has associated Organizations. In this case, Universal Billing is not supported.
- If one or more Organizations are disassociated from a Syncro Tenant after backup has been configured, backup will only remain enabled and active for the Organizations still associated with that tenant, and Universal Billing will only include those.
