This is a quickstart guide to provide initial setup instructions to link a Microsoft Entra ID tenant to eSilo's backup service. This is not a complete management guide.

Access the eSilo Cyber Protect Console
Log in to the web console at console.esilo.com if you are unsure of your log in credentials, check your email for an account activation email or email us at support@esilo.com for assistance.

Link Microsoft 365
The below steps should be performed using a Global Administrator account within your Microsoft Entra ID tenant. Attempting to follow these instructions with an account that does not have Global Administrator privileges may return an error and prompt you to switch accounts. To find which accounts have Global Administrator privileges check the Active users page: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=834822 then select a user, check for "Global Administrator" under "Roles" on the right side panel.
These instructions authorize the backup service to access your Microsoft Entra ID data and eSilo does not store your Microsoft account credentials, the login page is on Microsoft's website and your Microsoft account is used only to authorize the connection, no credentials are stored or sent to our service.
On the Cyber Protection dashboard, click "Devices" on the left sidebar.
Then click "Add" in the top right corner.
Then click "Microsoft Entra ID" on the right side panel, you may need to scroll down to see it.
This will open a popup to log in to your Microsoft account or select an existing account if you are already signed in.
Once you sign in, follow the prompts to link your Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
Once your account is linked, you will be redirected to a setup page to configure the backup schedule, you can stop here without configuring a schedule and eSilo or your MSP will do this for you, if you want to configure the backup schedule yourself, you are welcome to do so.
If you have any questions, send us an email at support@esilo.com.
