Feature Request: Configuration Backup for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

[DE&C]

Summary
Native configuration backup and restore should be in parity with Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR)

Background

• Migrations due to end-of-life operating systems

• Hardware refresh

• Security and upgrade requirements

• No reliable way to preserve and restore full configuration

Current Limitations

• No centralized configuration export (jobs, repositories, proxies, organizations, settings)

• Manual rebuild required (time-consuming, error-prone)

• No support for clean migration scenarios

Workarounds (insufficient)

• VM snapshots: limited to VM-based upgrade scenarios

• VM snapshots: not applicable to physical servers

• Agent-based backups and snapshots: not suitable for migration scenarios

• Agent-based backups and snapshots: lack consistency and portability

Expected Functionality

• Full configuration backup (all components)

• Restore to new or existing server

• Support for migration (OS and hardware)

• Scheduled backups and secure storage

• Simple and reliable restore process

Business Impact

• Reduced migration effort and risk

• Improved operational resilience

• Alignment with VBR standards

Conclusion

• Critical feature gap

• Required for enterprise-grade operations

Hi Doron,

We’re aware of the request. Unfortunately, we can’t share an ETA yet.
I’ll add your vote to our feature request tracker.

Best regards,

Of course +1 for this BIG lack of this feature

all hope is gone for VB365

Reports of its death are greatly exaggerated.

Config backup is still not on the short-term roadmap, but not forgotten either.

We won't be aiming to deliver feature parity with VBR, but instead - a simple yet reliable on-demand export/import of installation configuration.

I want to strongly +1 this feature request.

This is a backup product, yet it still cannot back up its own configuration in a clean, supported, purpose-built way.

A backup application should be able to protect itself, and that should have been addressed long ago.
