Hello Veeam,

In Veeam 365 backup for SharePoint online, I see that can backup the SP online sites and also has a category for “Personal Sites”.

Can anyone explain what is these Personal Sites and where can I find them in SharePoint admin portal?

I couldn't found any explanation even in Veeam documentation about Personal Sites.

Thank you in advance,
Nikos

The long answer is there can also be personal sites, but OneDrive is included in this and it’s the primary thing being backed up

Hi, personal sites are OneDrive 🙂 as it uses SharePoint as it’s backend

Dear @MicoolPaul  thanks a lot for your quick reply!

I know that OneDrive backed is the SharePoint, but in my tests trying to restore a personal site (from Veeam 365 SP explorer) I cannot see any of actually OneDrive files!

I see only Subsites empty directory and some other default directories in Contents (check below)

That’s why I'm confusing!
