Configuring the Custom backup policy
Points to consider when configuring the Custom backup policy.
All items in the source workload are backed up by default. You can create a custom backup policy to specify which items should be backed up.
This policy applies to all SaaS connectors except Teams Chat, Audit Log, Slack, Salesforce, Email/message file, and File.
The custom backup policy only affects new items and does not apply to items already backed up.
The policy custom lets you customize backup criteria based on the size, last modified date, and type of the items.
You can define any or all of these criteria as per your specific backup requirements.
Any folder exclusion criteria set on the Capture scope page override the one defined in the custom backup policy.
To configure the Custom backup policy
- Go to the Policy configuration page.
- Select the Items <Last modified> date older than<-->days check box.
- Enter the number of days to specify the modified items that you want to back up.
Note:
This option is applied regardless of the items' size and type.
- Select the Items size larger than __<--> check box to back up the items that are larger than the specified size.
Note:
This option is applied regardless of the items' last modified date and type.
- Select the <Include/Exclude>items of type<Enter a file extension> check box and enter the extensions that should be included or excluded from being backed up.
Note:
This option is applied regardless of the items' Last modified status and size.
Note:
This option is not applicable to the Google Drive connector.
- Use the Locations to exclude option to exclude specific folders from being backed up.
Any folder that matches the provided name, including its subfolders, is excluded from the backup. The matching process is case-insensitive, and wildcards can be used.
The exclusion criteria set in the Folder filter section for this connector take precedence over the criteria set here.
Click +Add location.
On the Location name page, enter the name of the folder that is to be excluded.
Click Add.
- Click Next.
