Do Microsoft Forms get backed up to the cloud?
notesguru99 yes we create a new flow or, more usually, do a Save As on a previous one and adjust it. And it gets saved to a list on the most appropriate site normally using the Create a list from another list option in SharePoint. But with 60,000 staff who have a range of abilities and experience from expert to little we cannot enforce the use of a flow and a SharePoint list when they are creating a form, other than in my own IT business unit where it's mandatory. We do however recommend it for others and most do it. I do the training and we make clear to staff that Forms is the most unreliable of all the Office 365 apps, has no way to restore a form or responses and - as you'll have seen on this forum - people regularly seem to lose responses or forms, not that it has ever happened to me. So we try to do what we can to mitigate that sort of problem.
