Is here a way of obtaining a ‘list/ dump’ of every SharePoint o365 object backed up over a 5 year period
It would likely be 10s of millions of lines long

To clarify what you are looking for - do you mean export a list of objects to a text file? like name and location or something?
Or actually do a mass restore out of place of all those objects?
Not that I’m aware of.. what exactly is the business case here?
Assuming the jobs within the 5 year period are still on storage, we could report on the size of data being protected / validate the client job success.. but getting a granular extract of every item protected successfully I don’t believe is possible.
If the data has aged from storage (e.g. you only have the last 4 years worth of data, not 5), you definitely won’t be able to report on it.
This would not be an actual restore -
Just a ‘prediction restore’
The use case is:
Looping back on this one. I heard back from a few developers who confirmed there is no easy way to collect this list.
A suggested method was to browse for a restore and copy and paste the contents into Excel. Not an ideal manner, but a possible one.
