What new restore options are available for Microsoft 365 in the H2 2025 update?

Veeam Data Cloud Express now supports restoring Exchange items to new folders and creating new OneDrive/SharePoint sites during restore operations. This allows administrators to access historical data without overwriting current configurations, making it easier to query data from specific points in time (such as a week or two ago) while preserving existing content.

How does JSON export for Entra ID improve troubleshooting capabilities?

JSON export allows administrators to view historical configurations for all Entra ID object types (users, policies, groups, etc.) without performing a restore. This is particularly valuable for troubleshooting scenarios where you need to understand how policies have changed over time—for example, diagnosing why a user can no longer access resources by comparing current policy assignments against historical snapshots.

TL;DR

Unified dashboard provides multi-tenant, multi-workload visibility with comprehensive audit logging for security monitoring and compliance tracking across the Veeam Data Cloud platform.
Microsoft 365 protection expands to 23 global regions with new restore options (Exchange folders, SharePoint sites), Teams conversational data enabled by default, and BYOK in limited preview.
Entra ID gains Intune device policy support and JSON export for all object types, enabling historical configuration analysis for troubleshooting without requiring restores.
Platform consolidation continues with Azure protection integrated into the unified UI, Vault storage now available on AWS, and expanded VCSP service provider offerings.

Platform Dashboard and Activity Monitoring

The H2 2025 update introduces a unified dashboard view that provides multi-workload, multi-tenant visibility across the entire Veeam Data Cloud organization. Administrators can now monitor protected object status across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and other workloads from a single interface, with detailed breakdowns of protected versus unprotected resources. The new activity log extends beyond backup session information to include comprehensive audit capabilities, tracking user logins, RBAC role changes, user creation and deletion, and workload tenant modifications. This centralized security monitoring provides organizations with critical visibility into both data protection posture and administrative actions across their cloud environment.

Microsoft 365 Enhancements and Multi-Geo Expansion

Veeam Data Cloud Express gains significant restore flexibility with new options for Exchange (restore to new folders) and OneDrive/SharePoint (create new sites), enabling administrators to access historical data without rolling back current configurations. The platform now supports 23 global regions for Microsoft 365 protection, removing previous restrictions that limited organizations to one tenant per regional group. This multi-geo expansion addresses data sovereignty requirements for multinational organizations. Teams conversational data protection (channels, posts, and replies) is now enabled by default following Microsoft's decision to eliminate metered API charges. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) capability is entering limited preview for premium customers, with general availability planned for early 2026.

Entra ID Protection and Intune Support

Entra ID protection expands with new support for Intune device configuration and compliance policies, continuing Veeam's strategy of broadening coverage beyond the conditional access policies introduced earlier in 2024. JSON export functionality now extends to all Entra ID object types, not just log files, enabling administrators to view historical configurations without performing restores. This capability transforms backup data into a troubleshooting resource, allowing teams to compare current policy states against historical snapshots to diagnose access issues or configuration drift. Regional availability for Entra ID protection has more than doubled since launch, growing from 10 to over 20 regions globally, with one-to-one parity between Microsoft 365 and Entra ID region support in EMEA.

Key Quotes

1:17 "The idea here is that within our Veeam Data Cloud organization, we can have multiple tenants for each workload."
3:51 "That restriction has been lifted, and now, as of the time of this recording, we have 23 different regions globally that we support for Microsoft 365, and you can onboard to all of them for your tenants."
4:52 "Towards the end of the summer, Microsoft announced that they were going to stop charging for that API. Now, there's no reason for us to not offer that."
7:22 "When we launched Veeam Data Cloud for Enter ID, we launched with 10 regions globally. That number has already more than doubled in the year."
9:01 "So it stops being just about recovery and it starts being about that resilience piece."
