Public Folders Backing up

[rwallace]

Hello. I am just looking to confirm that Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 does backup Public Folders that are part of 365. I can't find anything specific aside from articles about issues that have occurred. We are backing up the entire site, so I would like to assume those will be included but just need to verify that.

I'm not an Exchange person... I'm just trying to help clarify this for them. If there are steps we would need to take to ensure public folders will back up, can someone direct me to something with those steps?

Thanks in advance!

They are backuped up.
But there are some situation, where you have to configure additional settings for the permission to backup this folders

@Mildur is correct. (Thanks mate!)

One important thing, which can be found in the release notes: When creating public folders backups, only the primary hierarchy mailbox will be selectable for the backup.

As we are using Mordern app only https://www.veeam.com/kb3093; do these requirements still apply when it comes to service account needing permissions to folder

Hi RTEseeker

Make sure you are running the latest version of v7.0 or v7a. Public folder support for modern app only was introduced in P20230704 (7.0.0.3968).

The kb is currently in an update process for version 7.
But you can find the required permissions in our user guide. Please note the additional permissions for the registered app and the global reader role:

And you must set owner permission for provided user in the organization configuration. This user also requires an Exchange Online plan for Public Folder access:
