TIP

Consider the following:

  • You can download mailbox items to your computer. To do that, select the check box next to the item you want to download and click Download. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 will save the mailbox item to an .MSG file. For more information on how to get the downloaded data, see Obtaining Downloaded Items.
  • Restored items appear in an Outlook mailbox based on the received date, not the restore date.
