🚀 Need to back up or archive a SharePoint list using Power Automate?
In this video, I walk through a practical, real-world approach to duplicating a SharePoint list—including attachments—using Power Automate, while also explaining which column types do and do not work.
👉 This is ideal if you’re:
-Archiving a SharePoint list
-Migrating content to another site
-Creating a backup before retiring a list
-Cleaning up an overgrown portal
What this video covers
✅ Creating a destination (backup) SharePoint list using an existing list
✅ Building a Power Automate flow to copy list items
✅ Mapping common SharePoint column types (text, choice, date, person, number, hyperlink, currency)
✅ Correctly transferring attachments using Power Automate
✅ Explaining which column types don’t duplicate cleanly (and why)
✅ Tips for avoiding common Power Automate pitfalls
❌ What Power Automate can’t fully duplicate
👉 Image columns
👉 Location fields
👉 Ratings
👉 Some managed metadata and lookup scenarios
I explain why these fields are problematic and what that means for real-world backup scenarios.
⚠️ Large SharePoint Lists
🚀 If your list contains tens of thousands of items, there are additional considerations like pagination and batching.
👉 I intentionally keep this video focused on core logic—leave a comment if you want a follow-up on handling large datasets at scale.
