Hi team,

 

According to the below BOL Commvault can not backed up Private Chat of on-prem microsoft teams.

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/teams.html

 

But when i searching the other posts in community i’ m little bit confused.

Now i want to ask community with this post, can Commvault backed up Microsoft teams private chat ?

 

And one of the another consideration what kind of data can I archive for Microsoft Teams ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards.

Hi @0ber0n 

Thanks for reach us.
 

Teams app does not support backup of Personal chats
Personal chat backups and restores are supported in our version FR34.

It’s supported by Commvault Metallic already.

https://docs.metallic.io/metallic/enabling_personal_chat_backups_for_existing_azure_app.html

 

Microsoft requires an additional charge for every backup of personal chats and channel chats because the backup operation requires the use of paid Microsoft export APIs. 

 

Currently What is Not Backed Up with Teams

-- Posts associated with meetings
-- Archived teams
-- Personal chats
-- Data from SharePoint folders other than the channel folder. You can back up documents only from the channel folder.

hi @Syed_S 

 

Thanks for the explanation.


Metallic already supports this.
Support for Commvault ContentStore will come with FR24, but will it be with the paid exports API as you stated? Will it be necessary to use paid exports API again for the on-prem environment?
