Backup and Restore Projects in Microsoft Project for the Web

February 2, 2022

Today’s PMO directors are seeking the best solutions to protect their data in Microsoft Project for the Web—a system used by countless organizations to manage hundreds of projects at once. Much mission-critical data is stored in these project systems. Any mistake in data sharing, migration, or management can disrupt an organization’s operations.

To reduce the risk of losing mission-critical data, Microsoft recommends using a third-party cloud backup system that automates data backup processes and can recover and restore project data quickly.

The ideal solution for Project for the Web backup

FluentPro Backup for Project for the Web is a reliable cloud-based service that protects all Microsoft Project for the Web portfolio activities.

With Microsoft Project for the Web backup, you can backup:

Concerns about losing sensitive data due to file corruption, ransomware attacks, or human error are over.

What is a backup version?

The backup version is a backup of the last changes made at a particular time. You can save the current data state as a version according to your schedule. It enables you to revert your Environment to a previous version if necessary.

Versions can make it easier to recover from mistakes. For example, if accidental changes are made, you can revert your particular project, group, or resource to an earlier version.

How to add your first Environment and schedule a backup

After sign-up, FluentPro Backup’s simple onboarding wizard will guide you to add your first Environment and schedule your first backup. Start by clicking Add Environment.

Select the Project for the Web system and provide the Project for the Web Environment URL to connect. Select your project and click Continue.

After selecting your projects for backup, click Next. Another option is to click Selected and choose specific projects for backups.

From the list of available projects, select the ones you would like to back up. Click on the column names to filter the project list. Once you’ve completed your selection, click Add Selected.

Now you can choose how often you want to perform backups. Once you have selected your desired backup schedule, click Save to create your first backup schedule. Track the progress and status of your backup on the Operation Details page.

How to restore a backup copy of your Environment

If required, the data can be easily restored. Navigate to FluentPro Backup and click on the title of the Environment you need to restore.
