Custom List Settings

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SharePoint supports obtaining custom list templates from backups created by 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.

Note

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

To see templates with their names and features, do the following:

In the main menu, click General Options.
Open the Custom Lists tab.
Click the link under the Status column which also comprises the total number of available templates.
If you want to automatically update existing templates, select the Automatically update custom list templates from backups check box.
If you want to be notified whether the database contains new templates other than those you already have, select the Warn me if attached database has new custom list templates check box.

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

To remove templates, click Clear.
