  For more information, review: KB4447

  For more information, review: KB4448

 REST APIs

• The (GET) v7/Jobs request doesn’t return the "lastBackup" parameter for backup jobs that have finished with warnings.

P20230421 (7.0.0.3007)

Resolved Issues

General

• Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 7 writes successful authorization attempts to the Microsoft Windows event log every second, flooding the log with 4904/4905 security events.

Backup

• A SharePoint backup job may fail with the error:

  Failed to process site: %name% (%site URL%). The remote server returned an error: (429).
  

  For more information, review KB4442.
• Backup to object storage may fail on synchronizing metadata to the local cache with the error:

  JetError -1605 pattern cannot be determined
  

• Job session average ‘Read rate’ and ‘Write rate’ metrics are displayed incorrectly after the completion of a backup job targeted to an object storage repository.

• A Microsoft Teams backup job may fail on processing team tabs with the error:

  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  

  For more information, review: KB4201
• A SharePoint backup job that includes sites created by the Loop app fails with the following:

  The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. SharePoint Loop app is currently available in Preview, and sites that it creates are unsupported and will be skipped from processing.
  

  This cumulative patch does not add support for sites created by Loop; it allows Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 jobs to skip such sites silently.
  For more information, review: KB4440
   

REST APIs

• The (GET) /v7/DataRetrievalSessions may fail with the error:

  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  

• The (GET) /v5/JobSessions request may fail with the error:

  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  

P20230302 (7.0.0.2914)

Resolved Issues

• The following warning may be displayed in the action log of a backup job configured to process an entire organization:

  Mailbox does not have a valid Microsoft 365 license
  

  These warnings were suppressed in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v6a P20221215 (build 6.1.0.438). However, upon additional observation and testing after the release of that cumulative patch, we have identified some edge cases where the fix may not help. Starting with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v7 (build 7.0.0.2911), the suppression of the warning was rolled back.

To manually update an existing Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 7.x deployment to the latest Cumulative Patch listed on this page, follow the same steps as upgrading Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

2. Close all Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and PowerShell consoles.
3. Mount the ISO on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server.

5. Click Update and follow the prompts to update the software.
