Veeam for Microsoft 365 “User ‘USERNAME’ does not have a valid Microsoft 365 license with SharePoint plan enabled” Warning

If a user is set to back up a SharePoint but doesn’t have a SharePoint plan, you’ll start seeing warnings pop up in your Veeam for Microsoft 365 backups. There are two options for resolving the “User ‘USERNAME’ does not have a valid Microsoft 365 license with SharePoint plan enabled” warning.

Option 1: Contact Microsoft to add a SharePoint plan to the current users’ license.

Option 2: If the SharePoint site does not need to be backed up, or is not licensed to, then you can exclude the SharePoint for the user. Below are the steps to exclude a SharePoint for a specific user:

If you are backing up your entire organization:

  • Navigate to the Select objects to exclude tab.
  • Click the Add button to open the users list, select the user that is experiencing the warning, and select click Add.
  • Select the user and Click the Edit button. Check Site to exclude, hit OK, and save the job settings.

If you have specific objects selected to backup:

  • Navigate to the Select objects to back up tab.
  • Select the user from the list and click the Edit button. Uncheck Site to exclude, hit OK, and save the job settings.
