Restore from Veeam Backup & Replication Backups

You can restore Microsoft SharePoint data from backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication to the original or another location.

Consider the following:

  • If your Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint comes as part of Veeam Backup & Replication, the backup content is loaded automatically when you open Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint.
  • If your Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint comes as part of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, add a Microsoft SQL Server database that contains your Microsoft SharePoint data. For more information, see Adding Microsoft SharePoint Databases.

You can get the database files directly from the original Microsoft SharePoint machine, or you can use Veeam Backup & Replication to restore guest OS files of the machine. For more information, see the Restore from Microsoft Windows File Systems (FAT, NTFS or ReFS) section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Before restoring data, read the Considerations and Limitations section.
