This section outlines the limitations of "Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams".
- Modern authentication with legacy protocols allowed is not supported for data restoration with Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams.
- Microsoft Teams data can only be restored within the original organization.
- Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams does not modify team owner roles during restoration. For example, if you back up your organization, then change a team member's role from Member to Owner, Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Teams will not reset their role to Member during restoration.
- Restoration of OneNote notebooks from Microsoft Teams data backups for organizations using modern authentication with application-only is not supported.
