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.

  1. Use the Type and/or Created dropdown menus to filter the alerts shown:
     
    • Type: Options include Storage Space, Backup Failure, BitLocker Reminder, and/or Security Alert.
    • Created: Options include Last Week, Last Month, Last Year, or select a Custom date range.
  1. If you want to clear the alert(s), click Acknowledge.

 

Tips:

  • Click the slanted triple line () icon to clear the filters, or the refresh icon to refresh the page.
  • If you're already in the Backup Portal, you can also access the Alerts page from the User Profile menu in the upper right. 
  • If you acknowledged an alert but want to see it again, check the "Acknowledged" box, then select from the Type and/or Created filters as needed:
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:

  1. Check your credentials to make sure they're for the correct Microsoft Tenant. 
  2. If you've enabled Entra ID user sync, verify that this is the Syncro Tenant you're attempting to configure backup for. (There can only be one Microsoft Tenant associated with a Syncro Tenant.)

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.
