O365 OneNotes backup files: where are they?

Check out this blog that shows how to restore OneNote stuff - https://www.veeam.com/blog/restore-ms-teams-onenote-items.html

Hopefully this helps on location.

There is no probles to find and restore company Teams Notes.
Personal OneNotes missing..
 

That page I posted if you scroll down there is mention of personal notes.

Check this forum post also for more details - https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-for-microsoft-365-f47/is-it-possible-to-backup-and-restore-onenote-files-t80728.html

Last post.

Sorry, I cannot find any OneNote documents to restore, this is the problems :(

Mails, word excel etc files OK but cannot find OneNote files.
Maybe something rights missing backing up O365 data from MS

Or coult it be reason: we having separate jobs for: Mail, OD and SharePoint.
 

I would check the OneDrive backups to see if they are there.  It will not be in the mail backup jobs.

iirc personal notes are a onedrive file, you should be able find them in the onedrive explorer

That is what I thought too Danny.  Thanks for the confirmation. 😁

Yes this is what i also expecting… But cannot find anything but hypertext http links to Onenotes documents. Not the actual data.

I just created and run a full backup testjob with all procressing options selected to my personal O365 account.

I have several Onenotes documents.
When opening OneNote Windown App I can see about document properties file path as:

#https://<my-compay>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/<my-name>_<my-company>_fi1/_layouts/OneNote.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2F<my-name>_<my-company>_fi1_fi1%2FDocuments%2FDocuments%2FOneNote%20Notebooks%2F<my name>%20%40%20<my-company>

And in “c:\users\<my-name>\documents\OneNote Notebooks” folder: There is only https links to same documents to O365 webpage.

When opening this new backup with Veeam OneDrive explorer I can find only these link files. not actual data

I would suggest at this point to contact Support to get this sorted out as the OneNotes should be there.

Now updated VeeamO365 to latest 7.1.0.2031 version and took a new backup.
Now <user>\documents\OneNote Documents\ folder files are OneNodes data files not hyperlink only.

Scrolling down to earliser backups looks these files have changed to html only beginning of this year.
So: something happened with MS O365 and Veeam 0365 communication!

And this latest Veeam O365 version fixed it.
OK, so having about ½ year blackout about OneNotes files :(.
But at least backing up OneNotes files now it works again.

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue with the update and reconnect. 👍
