You can back up your organization’s Office 365 Contacts to other cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox etc.

To set up a real-time backup of Office 365 contacts, you need to create backup sync pairs. Backup sync pairs define how cloudHQ backs up data for individual users. For example, a sync pair might look something like this:

Office365 Contacts (bob@acme.com)   -> Google Drive/Backup_folder/Office365 OneDrive (bob@acme.com)
Office365 Contacts (alice@acme.com) -> Google Drive/Backup_folder/Office365 OneDrive (alice@acme.com)
Office365 Contacts (tom@acme.com)   -> Google Drive/Backup_folder/Office365 OneDrive (tom@acme.com)
Office365 Contacts (jen@acme.com)   -> Google Drive/Backup_folder/Office365 OneDrive (jen@acme.com)
...

And here are step-by-step instructions for how to achieve that:

Office 365 preparation:

• OneDrive Business accounts have to be fully provisioned. cloudHQ will not provision Office 365 OneDrive Business accounts on your behalf. This means that each of your Office 365 users needs to log in at least once to their OneDrive Business account.
• Your Office 365 admin needs to be added as an admin to users’ personal websites. Instructions are here: https://support.cloudhq.net/how-to-enable-admin-access-to-all-office-365-onedrive-users.
• Please wait as it will take some time to propagate ownership changes.

Google Apps preparation:

• Ensure that you are a Google Apps super admin. Instructions are here: https://support.cloudhq.net/cloudhq-access-permission-for-google-apps-admin/.
• Ensure the Google Apps Administrative API is enabled for your domain. Instructions are here: https://support.cloudhq.net/how-to-check-if-google-apps-administrative-api-is-enabled-for-your-domain/.
