The restore of Teams apps only supports adding the apps back to your Teams. For the apps whose data is stored outside Teams, the restore job cannot restore the apps’ data.

To ensure a successful backup and restore for Teams’ Apps when using service account authentication, the service account must have the Team Owner role.
