Feature Request: Configuration Backup for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

Post by DE&C » 1 person likes this post

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,
