Teams channel backup is same as of Sharepoint

Hi

You are correct the data coudl be addressed twice as part of hte backup of Teams and SharePoint.

To avoid this, and keep the TEAMs backup I would exclude the TEAMs data from the SharePoint backup.  There is an option for this under the custom categories:

Always ensure that you are including the excluded data in the TEAMs backup so no data is missed.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Teams' channels are hosted at SharePoint all the time. Basically, whenever you create a folder or file via Teams, it’s placed at SharePoint directly.

If your goal is only to protect the files, folders and “core” Teams structure SharePoint backup might be adequate. - SharePoint Online (metallic.io)

If additional e.g. chat level backup is required, then Teams can be used. - Teams (metallic.io)

If your SharePoint CompanyName\ABC hosts Teams channel 123 and both SharePoint ABC and Teams 123 are protected with separate jobs, then the files are protected twice and you can exclude e.g. teams files from SharePoint level backup. 

You can compare what’s available in each backup and then decide which level is more convenient to company needs. 

We are protecting Teams files only at the SharePoint level, this scenario meets our needs and SharePoint level backup seems to be faster.
