How to restore a single file deleted 6 months ago - using M365 Backup?
My friend's company uses Sharepoint Online, but relevant folders are synced to their OneDrive so they manage everything in File Explorer. I have Microsoft 365 Backup enabled on their Sharepoint site....
Hello pkokkinis2025
the use case for OneDrive sync is offline working or dedicated folders/libraries, but not the whole SharePoint...it's not recommended.
With M365 backup you can only restore Sites, not single files:

You need to restore the site with a new url and pick up the missed file.
