Microsoft 365 Backup now supports point-in-time restoration for SharePoint sites. Admins can restore an entire SharePoint site — including all pages, lists, libraries, and permissions — to any point within the last 180 days. This provides a powerful recovery option for ransomware attacks, mass accidental deletions, and corruption scenarios.
Available for tenants with Microsoft 365 Backup enabled.

- Full Site Restore to Any Point in Last 180 Days
- Pages, Lists, Libraries, and Permissions Included

Admins can initiate a point-in-time restore via SharePoint Admin Center > Sites > Active sites > select site > Restore.
Our Take
This is the right call, but Microsoft is underselling how disruptive it'll be. Users have built years of muscle memory around that Chat / Teams split — expect a wave of support tickets the week it lands. Get ahead of it with a quick communication to your users before it shows up, not after.
