Question

Restoring SharePoint Folder Permissions


Userlevel 1

Are SharePoint permissions backed up using Veeam for Microsoft 365? 

Scenario:  A group with inherited permissions is removed from a SharePoint folder but later found to be required.

If we restore the folder, will it restore the security groups/permissions associated with that folder at the time of backup?

According to this you can restore permissions - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/explorers/vesp_specify_restore_options_sites.html?ver=120

The account you are running the restore from is it a Backup Administrator?  If so, unsure why restore permissions would be grayed out.

its local server admin.

the site that i try to restore have delegetion permissions and the veeam backup user supose to have full permisions but not eble to restore permisions.

i try to restore normal site and i was eble to select the restore permissions.

so the question is “that permissions need the backup user to have to specific site for restore permissisons?”
