After upgrading, your build version will change to 4.0.1.531. Version 4c delivers new features and enhancements and includes a set of bug fixes listed below.
Support for Office 365 tenants using modern app-only authentication with disabled legacy protocols. In the new mode, VBO performs all its backup and restore operations using an Azure AD application instead of user credentials. This new mode addresses the needs of customers using Microsoft Security Defaults in their Office 365 tenant organizations. Support for leveraging auxiliary backup applications to enable faster SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business backups for Office 365 tenants using modern app-only authentication.
The built-in product auto upgrade feature now automatically installs the new and missing Veeam Explorers that come as part of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 package, as well as the newest patches for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Enhanced UI for Backup Accounts Manager allowing for easier selection of a security group and managing dozens of accounts.
When protecting Office 365 tenants using modern app-only authentication, consider the following: Discovery Search and Public Folder mailboxes are not supported. Dynamic Distribution groups are not supported. The type property for shared and resource/equipment mailboxes cannot be resolved. Such mailboxes will be available for backup with a general ‘User’ type. SharePoint Web Parts can only backed up if their ‘exportmode’ property is enabled. Non exportable Web Parts are not supported. OneNote restore is not supported. SharePoint Web Part customized template cannot be preserved upon a restore. All Web Parts will be restored with the default template. The ‘Allow multiple responses’ setting in survey lists within team modern sites is not preserved upon a restore. The ‘Measure-VBOOrganizationFullBackupSize’ cmdlet is not supported. For the full list of System Requirements, Known Issues, Installation and Upgrade considerations, please refer to this Release Notes document.
