Restore portal

Is it possible to save team files to a local drive of the end user using the restore portal? In case m365 is not available we want to provide end users the ability to restore files locally to use these files in a temporary workspace outside teams.

Hello lowlander

It's not yet possible to "download files locally" through the Restore Portal.
For now the customer has to ask you todo the restore with Explorers or use his own Explorers through a Veeam Cloud Connect connection.

Hi Mildur,

to be on the same page: Regarding a worst case scenario where Microsoft 365 services are degraded and files are critical, access to files is only possible with the use of the Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams.

We want to provide key users the possibility to save files from the Teams backup, by installing the Veeam Explorer on a central "restore server" with local storage where files can be saved. Is it possible to define a restore scope when using the Veeam Explorer in order to give key users minimal rights to restore specific Teams files from library, private channel or shared channel ?

V365 server, backups and restore server should be on-premises.

Hi Lowlander,

Correct. Today, Veeam Explorer for Teams (or SharePoint) has to be used to used to "export" files from a restore point to a local disk.

Unfortunately, we do not have RBAC roles with restore scopes for Veeam Explorer for Teams, Exchange, or SharePoint. Currently, we only have a backup administrator role in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
If you grant a user access to the VB365 controller to use the Explorers, they will have visibility into backups from all protected objects (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams) and will have permission to manage the entire backup server.

We will note your request for a download button in the restore portal.

Best,
Fabian
