The GA build of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 4c (build 4.0.1.519) was recalled due to a backup sync issue identified by Veeam quality assurance.
If you are running build 4.0.1.519 please refer to the KB3194 and install the corresponding patch.
The latest 4c Day 0 Update build 4.0.1.531 is now available for download with the link provided below.
Requirements
Please confirm you are running on of the following versions of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 prior to installing version 4c:
- version 3.0 (builds 3.0.0.422 – 3.0.0.480)
- version 4.0 (build 4.0.0.1345)
- version 4a (builds 4.0.0.1553 – 4.0.0.1580)
- version 4b (builds 4.0.0.2516 – 4.0.0.2549)
You can check the product version under Help > About in the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 console. After upgrading, your build version will change to 4.0.1.531.
Version 4c delivers new features and enhancements and includes a set of bug fixes listed below.
What’s New
- Support for Office 365 tenants using modern app-only authentication with disabled legacy protocols. In the new mode, VBO performs all its backup and restore operations using an Azure AD application instead of user credentials. This new mode addresses the needs of customers using Microsoft Security Defaults in their Office 365 tenant organizations.
- Support for leveraging auxiliary backup applications to enable faster SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business backups for Office 365 tenants using modern app-only authentication.
Enhancements
- The built-in product auto upgrade feature now automatically installs the new and missing Veeam Explorers that come as part of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 package, as well as the newest patches for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
- Enhanced UI for Backup Accounts Manager allowing for easier selection of a security group and managing dozens of accounts.
Considerations and limitations
When protecting Office 365 tenants using modern app-only authentication, consider the following:
- Discovery Search and Public Folder mailboxes are not supported.
- Dynamic Distribution groups are not supported.
- The type property for shared and resource/equipment mailboxes cannot be resolved. Such mailboxes will be available for backup with a general ‘User’ type.
- SharePoint Web Parts can only backed up if their ‘exportmode’ property is enabled. Non exportable Web Parts are not supported.
- OneNote restore is not supported.
- SharePoint Web Part customized template cannot be preserved upon a restore. All Web Parts will be restored with the default template.
- The ‘Allow multiple responses’ setting in survey lists within team modern sites is not preserved upon a restore.
- The ‘Measure-VBOOrganizationFullBackupSize’ cmdlet is not supported.
For the full list of System Requirements, Known Issues, Installation and Upgrade considerations, please refer to this Release Notes document.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 4.0.1.531 is applicable to:

Upgrading backup repositories from version 3.0 to 4c may take significant time to complete and the upgrade duration highly depends on the amount and type of backup data in a repository.

Plan for an appropriate maintenance window when your backup repository that is been upgraded is not available for use.
