    Even if Spectrum Protect could support individual Sharepoint items within the SQL database it would make restoring items a lot easier as a whole database doesn't need to be restored.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    IBM resells AvePoint DocAve for this purpose. That supports both on-prem and Office365.

    DocAve can write to a local repository, or to TSM/Spectrum Protect.

    At one point IBM rebranded it as "IBM Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft Sharepoint", but it now just keeps its official name.
