Saving SharePoint Attachments

You can save a backed-up SharePoint item attachment with the specified ID.

SharePoint item attachments are always saved in a ZIP archive. When you save a SharePoint item attachment, the request command archives the attachment and places the ZIP archive to a temporary folder on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server. After that, the archive is 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.
