The following are the limitations for SharePoint Online connector:

  • When the Require Check Out option is enabled for a document library, the files in that library are not stubbed by default. To enable stubbing for these files, you need to select the Stub Items in Lists that Require Checkout check box in the Connector service.

  • SharePoint connector with CDP (continuous data protection) does not work with App registration. Basic or Modern Authentication is required for SharePoint connector with CDP.

  • The Capture site collection, site, list settings, columns and content types and Capture permissions options are not supported for SharePoint on-premises.

  • Incremental backups are not supported with manual credentials.

  • The site property AllowExternalEmbeddingWrapper is not backed up.

  • During restore of the items under moderation enabled list Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection will not approved the items because Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection does not back up the moderation status property of the such items.
