Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 • Re: Feature request - Retrieve private key

Hey Michael, thank you for the reply!

The first thing we did was contact support. Yes, thankfully we do have the encryption passphrase. After determining the key could not be retrieved via GUI or PowerShell, they suggested we post here to open a Feature request.

Yea we learned lifecycle polices are unsupported the hard way, lol.

Thank you for the suggestion of using the backup copy function! We will certainly make note of this and use it for future requirements and make sure NOT to use lifecycle rules.

We tried to copy the "restored" data to a bucket running with supported storage tier (OneZone-IA) however it turns out that AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive copy batch operation jobs require that the private key be provided if using customer provided keys, hence the feature request to be able to pull the key.

Thanks for the advice/help!
