Searching for Objects in Backup

You can use Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to search for items in a backup. The search mechanism allows you to find items matching specified search criteria.

To search for required items, do the following:

Log in to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 with an administrator account or an account with viewing and restoring permissions and permissions to access backup for entire Sharepoint tenancy.
In the main menu, click Search.
From the Search within drop-down list, select the application whose items you want to find: Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, or Teams.

If the option to search within a specific application is enabled for your account, you can see it in the Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 environment. If you cannot see the application whose items you want to find, contact Veeam Customer Support.

In the as at field, select a restore point where you want to search for application items. The restore point defines the date and time when the backup was created.

In the Primary Search Criteria section, specify search criteria:

From the Category, Field and Condition drop-down lists, select values to form your search criteria.
In the Value field, specify your search criteria or select a value from a drop-down list.
