Guys, aside from data we need to backup the configuration of AzureAD, Exchange Online, SharePoint, MS Teams etc. How are people doing this ? I see Quest offer some capability for this but are there any other products people are aware of?

    Not sure which configurations you are referring to, but Powershell can certainly export settings.

    You can try the M365 DSC tool, although it still lacks support for most of the Azure AD settings: https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC

    @DarraghOShaughnessy-6524
    For the AzureAD side of things, we currently only support exporting/downloading user info. There aren't any Portal features for backing up the configuration data on App registrations or conditional access policies. However, as stated by @AD-7937, you can use PowerShell or the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK Preview.

    If you'd like these features to be implemented, please feel free to vote for them using the links below. Additionally, we have Azure Backup, if you ever plan on backing up Azure VMs, File shares, SQL servers, etc.

    Azure App registration export, import and/or install process
    Support exporting and importing conditional access policies using PowerShell

    Lastly, regarding your inquiry about Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint, I have added the tags so that the correct forum may look into this as issue as well. If you'd like, you can also re-post this issue in their respective forums if you aren't seeing this thread populate.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thank you for your time!

    Due to the configuration data of SharePoint Online is stored in the cloud, I don't think it's possible to backup the configuration data of

    SharePoint Online.
