Backing up a large number of SharePoint files manually can take a lot of time. SharePoint Online Backup Tool by SysTools allows you to backup documents, folders, and subfolders from large document libraries in a single operation without splitting the data into multiple batches.

The software keeps the original Created Date and Modified Date of each document during backup. This helps you identify when a file was created or last updated, even after it has been downloaded to local storage.

SharePoint document libraries can contain a wide range of file formats, including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ZIP, JPG, PNG, CAD files, videos, and more. SysTools SharePoint Online Backup Tool backs up all supported files available in the selected document libraries without restricting the file extension type.

Selected the wrong document library? No problem. Click the Stop button, and the software will stop the current backup process. You can then make the required changes and start a new backup whenever you are ready.

After the backup is completed, the software generates a report showing total files processed, successful downloads, failed items, and backup status.

Running a full backup every time can take longer than necessary. The Delta Backup feature automatically skips files that have already been backed up and downloads only new or updated documents.
