Restoring Posts

You can use Veeam Data Cloud to restore posts of Microsoft Teams channels. The restore options differ depending on whether you want to restore all posts of a channel or specific posts.

All posts of a channel can be either restored to the original channel or downloaded to a local computer.
Specific posts can be downloaded to a local computer only.

Restoring All Posts

To restore all posts of a Microsoft Teams channel:

In the main menu, click Teams.

Note

Consider the following:

If your organization does not have any backups, you may not have access to the Teams Backups page.

Backup and restore of Microsoft Teams data is available to users of the Flex and Premium plans only. Users can restore Teams data flexibly and do not need to select the restore method.

To be able to restore team posts, make sure that Microsoft Teams chat backup is enabled. For details, see Enabling Microsoft Teams Chat Backup.

If team chat backup is not enabled for the organization, the backup does not contain team posts, and no posts are available for restore when you select the Posts node on the Teams Backups page.

On the Teams Backups page, expand the team whose channel posts you want to restore.
Expand the channel whose posts you want to restore and select Posts.
Click Restore Selected Posts.

In the Restore Posts window, check the name of the team and channel whose posts you want to restore, and the time when the backup was created.
In the Restore to section, select where to restore posts. You can select one of the following options:

Original Location. Select this option if you want to restore posts to the original channel. Veeam Data Cloud will create a new tab in the original channel and restore posts to this tab.
Local computer. Select this option if you want to download posts to your computer. Use this option for posts whose total size does not exceed 1 GB. Veeam Data Cloud will save the posts to a .ZIP file.
Download in background. Select this option if you want to download the item to your computer. Use this option for items whose total size exceeds 1 GB or if the download process takes more than 3.5 minutes. Veeam Data Cloud will save the posts to a .ZIP file. For more information on how to get the downloaded data, see Obtaining Downloaded Items.

Click Restore to restore the posts.

If you selected the Local computer or Download in background option, click Download to start the download process.
