What Cannot Be Restored

Wikis, posts, or channels cannot be restored to a file location. You can restore only Teams uploaded files to a file location.
Images in a wiki cannot be restored to a different team. The images can be restores to the same team only if the original wiki page still exists.

Considerations

After restoring a custom tab, you must manually link the content of the tab to view it.
If you want to back up hosted content, follow the instructions in the KB article 67692.

Authentication

Modern authentication is used to access data for backups and restores.
