Check whether the tenant is licensed for Microsoft 365 Backup Storage.

Microsoft 365 Backup Storage is a paid add-on: the backupRestore endpoint is only usable on a tenant that owns the corresponding add-on SKU. This script lists the subscribed SKUs and highlights any match, so a failed backup example can be diagnosed without guesswork.

Permissions

Requires Organization.Read.All or Directory.Read.All (both are carried by the examples' app registration).
