Viva Engage Data Types

The table below lists the data types supported or unsupported for Viva Engage in AvePoint Cloud Backup:

Note the following:

  • Viva Engage services currently support in place recovery only (restoring to the original location), meaning the Viva Engage community needs to be there already, as well as to export files and conversations.

  • The External Network, Private Message, and Classic Viva Engage are not supported.

  • Only the message content and comment are supported for the Discussions, Questions, Praise, and Poll messages. In the current release, Viva Engage messages are only available in the Calendar mode (time-based) recovery wizard and will be restored to HTML files.
