What Is Not Backed Up

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.

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

For items to be backed up, each team must have at least one user that is assigned the owner role.
After restoring a custom tab, you must manually link the content of the tab to view it.
To back up hosted content, see Commvault KB article 67692.
