Backing up and restoring Teams Enterprise Voice configs

In the cloud....get it?

Whenever I made changes to a Skype for Business Enterprise Voice configuration, either via a UCDialplans.com script or manually, I got into the habit of making a backup of the Enterprise Voice configuration. Skype for Business made this easy with an option directly in the UI that allowed you to backup and, more importantly, restore. I've made use of both options on more occasions than I can think of.

In the MS Teams world, there are a few scripts out there that help you backup your Teams Enterprise Voice configuration as part of a larger backup of the entire environment. However, I haven't found one that will let you restore that backup. Now there is!

I've published two PowerShell scripts that allow you to backup and then restore an MS Teams Enterprise Voice configuration in a few minutes. Slide on over to my Github page for the latest version.

BackupRestoreTeamsEV

PowerShell scripts that allow you to easily backup and restore your Microsoft Teams Enterprise Voice configuration

Getting Started

Download the scripts onto your local Windows machine where you normally connect to your MS Teams tenant.

Prerequisites

Requires that you have the Office 365 PowerShell module installed, and that you have a Microsoft Teams Enterprise Voice configuration that you are interested in backing up/restoring. You may have to set your execution policy to unrestricted to run this script:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Running a backup

Simply run .\Backup-TeamsEV.ps1 from a PowerShell prompt. If you are not already connected to your Teams tenant, the script will prompt for authentication. If your admin account is not a @tenantname.onmicrosoft.com account, then you should use the -OverrideAdminDomain switch.

Restoring a backup

Run .\Restore-TeamsEV.ps1 with the path to the backup file to restore. If you are not already connected to your Teams tenant, the script will prompt for authentication. If your admin account is not a @tenantname.onmicrosoft.com account, then you should use the -OverrideAdminDomain switch.

By default, the script will clean out any existing config, including dialplans, voice routes, voice routing policies, PSTN usages and translation rules. You can override this behaviour by using the -KeepExisting switch.
