Configuring Custom Lists

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint supports obtaining custom list templates from backups created in Veeam Backup & Replication.

The actual information about templates is stored directly in a backup file and obtained automatically so that you can view the custom list data without having to perform any additional operations.

Configuring Custom Lists Note

Configuring custom lists is not required when working with backups created in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.

To see templates with their corresponding names and features, go to the main menu, select General Options and click the link under the Status column which also comprises the total number of available templates.

You can select Automatically update custom list templates from backups to automatically update existing templates. Also, you can select Warn me if attached database has new custom list templates to be notified if the database contains new templates other than those you already have.

Configuring Custom Lists

See the figure below showing you what custom list templates are available.
