Support for Microsoft Teams

Volda_University_College — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:45:31 GMT

I cannot find any information about Microsoft Teams and opportunities to back up files, channels and chats.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or is it on the roadmap.

Hi there! This page goes over the links between Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams - https://www.cwps.com/blog/microsoft-teams-vs-groups-vs-channels

They're not entirely different, but they're not entirely the same.

Office 365 Groups and Sharepoint are targets for with NetApp SaaS Backup at this time.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, I understand.

But I can't see any teams' functionality in the Saas Backup service for office 365.

I have have got this replay from support:

"SaaS Backup supports Conversations, Files, Site Content’s (excluding the chat data). Chat and OneNote will be added soon."

But where is it, and how do I restore a Team ?

Look under Groups in the SaaS Backup interface to restore them.

I am not able to find any "Groups".

Is this under Dashboard - Exchange ?

Hi Johann,

Groups appears as a separate service - you can activate it from the Dashboard.

Teams are essentially an infrastructure that supports Groups (creating a Team automatically creates a Group) so if you browse into the Office 365 Groups restore then you can see the underlying Teams (excluding chat data).

Discovered today that the backup / restore for Microsoft Groups is very limited.

NetApp support has stated that the only choice for restore is "Export Data", and this is very limited.
There is therefore no possibility today to restore to your own tenant.
