Challenge
When performing a backup of some SharePoint sites, the "Cannot change WebPart ExportMode to 'All'. WebPart will be skipped" warning may appear if the modern app-only authentication method is used.
Cause
To back up Web Parts with the Modern App-Only Authentication method, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 requires setting the "Export Mode" property of the web part from "False" to "True" to make this Web Part exportable and available for backup. Sometimes changing the "Export Mode" property is prohibited by a SharePoint administrator, and thus Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 cannot change it and back up the Web Part. When this occurs, the "Cannot change WebPart ExportMode to 'All'. WebPart will be skipped" warning is shown.
Solution
To allow changing the "Export Mode", you need to enable the "Allow custom script" option on the affected SharePoint sites.
If you want to back up Personal Sites or OneDrives, follow the steps described in this article:
For any other SharePoint sites, follow the steps described in this article:
Workaround
Since changing the "Export Mode" property of the Web Part is only required when the Modern App-Only Authentication method is used, you can avoid these warnings by changing the authentication method to Basic Authentication or Modern Authentication with Legacy Protocols Allowed.
