Does Microsoft Azure Backup support SharePoint item level restore when backup is in Azure vault

Question

How can I backup a SharePoint 365 Library to Azure Recovery Vault? The Azure Cloud backup supports both virtual server and on-premise file backup, but not SharePoint 365. I can set up a logical drive to SharePoint 365. How would I link it to Azure?

AFAIK, Microsoft does not provide any tool / service to make granular backups &amp; restores for SPO...you might need to go to third party tools to be able to meet that requirement

I have a PowerShell which maps SharePoint (https://name.sharepoint.com/documents) to a logical drive (Y:). &nbsp;I'm trying to do the same with Azure Recovery Vault. Once done, I believe I can move files from one to the other. The challenge is identifying the path to Azure Recovery Vault &nbsp;through the command line, and not using the GUI (https://portal.azure.com). Is it https://name.azure.com/???)

There are also 3rd party products like Avepoint for Backup of SharePoint in the cloud.

Thanks. What you provided is more than I expected. I'm going to review it in more depth shortly. Initally, I see it directs the user to a File Share. Something I do not have. I'm using the MARS Agent for Microsoft Azure Backup. The agent works great, and is what I'm trying to map to. &nbsp;In looking at my &nbsp;Azure Portal, I see the Recovery Vault, which is not considered a File Share. &nbsp;My File Share is with SharePoint. &nbsp;In a perfect world I would be able to use RoboCopy as a Schedule Task. Where RoboCopy would use my mapped drive with SharePoint, and allow me to copy to Microsaoft Azure Backup. &nbsp;Unfortunately, Azure does not recognize anythign other than a virtual server, or on-premise server. &nbsp; It would be nice if SharePoint 365 were a selectable item. &nbsp;I understand I can pay a third party, but I am a non-profit ...&nbsp;Microsoft is very gracious with Office 365 and Azure for non-profits, but there is no mechanism to archive backups for historical purposes (child, parent, grand parent). &nbsp;I'll figure it out.
