Contributors netapp-rlithman

With SaaS Backup for Microsoft 365, you can perform high-level and granular-level restores for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams.

Learn how to perform high-level and granular-level restores:

The following tables show the high-level restore options that are supported per service and where to find the restored data in SaaS Backup.
