Preservation Hold Library directory hidden by Microsoft

[mogan2055847]

Hi,

We just got to know Microsoft has recently make the SharePoint Preservation Hold Library hidden in the Site Contents for everyone, including SCA and Owners.

After this changes, can VBM365 still able to backup the hidden SharePoint Preservation Hold Library folder?

So during restore from Veeam Explorer for SharePoint, Preservation Hold Library will be visible under each site when you have chosen the option "Show items that have been deleted by user"?


Thank you in advance.

Hi Midur,

Just to check that you have any update so far ? I tried to search from the Veeam guide, can't find any relevant information so far.

Thank you in advance.

Also interested, busy onboarding a customer which seems to have a lot of data (for some users) in personal sites.
Also I get warnings for many sites and the html job log in programdata shows exactly the objects with much data with an error.
It looks like Veeam is backuping up this Preservation Hold Library but when I do a restore the data itself is not visible in the Veeam Explorer?
Anyone knows what's up?

Hi Alex

The case is with our QA team. We will update this topic when we have the answer.

but when I do a restore the data itself is not visible in the Veeam Explorer?

When you start the restore, have you selected "Show items that have been deleted by user"?

Yes, we tried that, no change visible.
And to give an idea, we're talking about seemingly tens of TB's of data in personal sites for this customer, quite substantial.
