Application Item Restore

Veeam Backup & Replication provides additional tools called Veeam Explorers, that help you restore application items. Veeam Explorers are included in Veeam Backup & Replication installations, so you do not need to install them separately. You also do not need to purchase any additional license to use Veeam Explorers. For general information, see Veeam Explorers Overview.

Veeam Explorers can restore application items from backups created with built-in application-aware processing provided by Veeam Backup & Replication or with database-level backups created by Veeam Plug-ins or MongoDB backup. For more information about the specifics of the options and which workloads they support, see Databases and Enterprise Applications.

From image-based backups created with application-aware processing, you can restore items from the following applications:

Microsoft Active Directory
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
PostgreSQL
Microsoft Exchange
Microsoft SharePoint

Note

Consider the following:

Restore using the Veeam Backup & Replication web UI is currently supported only for Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory and Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL Server.
Application item restore for Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft Teams is supported for backups created by Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. To restore data with Veeam Explorer for Microsoft OneDrive and Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams that come with Veeam Backup & Replication installations, you must add a Microsoft 365 database, a Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 backup server or Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 service provider.

From database-level backups created by Veeam Plug-ins or MongoDB backup, you can restore items from the following applications:

MongoDB
SAP HANA
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
