    Restoring, Sending and Saving SharePoint Libraries Note:

    To be able to send document libraries as attachments you must specify the Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint email settings by sending PUT HTTPS request to the /VESPEmailSettings URL. For more information, see (PUT) /VESPEmailSettings.

    Save

    To save a SharePoint document library, the request body must contain the save action:

    {

     "save": null

    }

    The request command will place the document library to a temporary folder on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 server. After that, the library will be transferred as application/octet-stream media to the client. To download, read or perform other actions with the octet-stream, use features of programming languages.

    You can use Swagger UI to download the document library from the stream by clicking Download action link in the response body.
