How to Backup and Restore Microsoft Teams Files using SharePoint Online

Whenever you create a private, public, and group channel in Microsoft Teams, a SharePoint Online site gets created for it automatically. This SharePoint Online site has a default document library folder, in which all the files shared across all the conversations get saved automatically. You can also customize the permissions and security options for sensitive information.

When you create any group in Microsoft Teams, a SharePoint Online site with the Team – Group_name name is created automatically. All the files shared in the public channels are saved in this site.

When you create any private channel under the Microsoft Teams group, another SharePoint Online site with the Teams_Group_name – Private_Channel_name name is created for that private channel apart from the site created for the Team group.
