Which Teams files can EdbMails back up?

Supported files and documents in the Teams-connected SharePoint/OneDrive sites, protected through the documented workflow.

Can I back up selected folders only?

Yes. Select the required Teams-connected sites or folders rather than everything.

Are chat attachments and channel posts included?

Yes. Chat attachments, channel posts, Planner, tabs and Microsoft 365 Groups are backed up as part of the Teams workload.

Can I restore selected files?

Yes. The restore workflow supports selecting protected files and folders for recovery.

Can file backup run incrementally?

Yes. After the first full backup, later runs can process newly added items incrementally.

Where are the backed-up files stored?

On storage you select and control, such as local or supported network storage.

Can I restore Teams files to another tenant?

Yes. The supported restore workflow can target the same or a different Microsoft 365 tenant.

How is this different from version history?

Version history rolls back individual files on the live site; an independent backup covers broader recovery such as deleted folders and cross-tenant restore.

How often should active folders be backed up?

Base it on how frequently the folders change and how much recent change you can afford to lose.

Do large folders affect backup time?

Yes. File count, item size, changed-data volume, Microsoft 365 responsiveness and storage performance all affect duration; no fixed speed is guaranteed.

What should I check after restoring files?

Verify file names, folder structure and that users can open the recovered files, and confirm business-critical details explicitly.

Backup Microsoft Teams Files

Protect important Microsoft Teams files with an independent backup

EdbMails helps administrators back up supported Microsoft Teams files to organization-controlled storage and restore selected files or folders when required. Regular backup runs provide a separate protected copy of frequently changed team documents, helping IT teams manage accidental deletion, unwanted changes, and other file-level data-loss situations.

Backup Microsoft Teams Files

The files teams and channels work with every day live in the SharePoint and OneDrive sites behind Teams, which is exactly what EdbMails protects. Using the documented SharePoint/OneDrive backup workflow, EdbMails backs up supported Teams-connected files and documents to storage you control and recovers them when needed. For the product overview, see Microsoft Teams Backup.

What EdbMails protectsTeams files

SharePoint sitesProtected

OneDrive storageProtected

Selected foldersSupported

Protect files used with Microsoft Teams

Teams files live in the SharePoint and OneDrive sites behind each team, and EdbMails backs them up as part of its full Teams protection. These shared documents, project folders and working files that channels reference are often the most actively changed and most business-critical Teams data.

Common file-backup scenarios

Protect project documents and shared folders.

Recover selected files after accidental deletion or unwanted changes.

Restore supported protected files into another Microsoft 365 tenant when required.

Keep an independent recovery copy of important team files.

Why Teams files need their own protection thinking

Team files change constantly and are edited by many people, and some arrive through sync from users' devices. That makes a recent recovery point more valuable than for static data, and it means a mistake or a compromised endpoint can push bad changes into the shared site quickly. Planning protection around how the files are actually used, which folders, how often they change, how fast they must be recoverable, keeps the backup meaningful.

How to back up Teams files

Create a SharePoint/OneDrive backup job.

Select the repository.

Connect to the source tenant.

Select the relevant Teams-connected sites or folders.

Start the backup and review the logs.

Scope: what is and isn't covered

Item	Backup scope
Files and documents in Teams-connected SharePoint sites	Supported through the SharePoint/OneDrive workflow
Shared project folders	Supported as site content
Chat attachments, channel posts, Planner, tabs and Microsoft 365 Groups	Backed up as part of the Teams workload

Incremental protection for active files

After the initial full backup, later runs to the same location can process newly added items incrementally rather than reprocessing everything, which suits active folders where only a portion of files change between runs. See Teams incremental backup.

File recovery workflow

Identify the affected site and folder.

Determine which files or folders require recovery.

Select the protected backup data.

Restore to the intended site or location.

Validate file names, folder structure and usability with the owner.

Native recovery and independent backup together

Native recycle bins and version history on the underlying SharePoint/OneDrive sites help with recent, in-tenant file fixes, but they work within time-bound windows inside the tenant. An independent backup covers deleted folders, large-scale changes, destructive incidents and recovery into another tenant, and keeps a copy under your control. See Teams backup for ransomware recovery.
