“Veeam is actively transitioning Exchange backup functionality from EWS to the Microsoft Graph API.”

KB4820: What Microsoft's EWS Retirement Means for Your Veeam Backups (2026-03-25), read 2026-10-14.

What to do. Veeam still backs up Exchange Online over EWS and waits on Microsoft for Graph delta sync. Set EwsEnabled to True, keep the Veeam app IDs on EwsAllowedAppIDs, and upgrade to v8.6 or later and re-save each organization to grant the Graph permissions.

What to do. EWS must stay on until Veeam Data Cloud finishes its move to Graph. In the portal, use Enable EWS access and Reauthorize existing app registration for each tenant, and keep the app ID on EwsAllowedAppIDs.
