2. Configure additional backup options:

   • Process document libraries only: Select this option to exclude lists, blogs, and wikis from the backup.

   • Exclude system lists: Select this option to exclude SharePoint internal lists and catalog-based libraries (for example, Master Page Gallery, Preservation Hold Library, and Style Library).

   • Capture max__versions: Enter the number of versions to retain to limit the number of versions to backup.

     If the check box is not selected, all versions of the items are backed up. When the check box is selected, only the set number of versions is backed up. Any versions beyond the specified number are marked as Removed from source.

   • Capture settings, columns, content types: Select this options to back up the settings, columns, and content types.

     This check box is selected by default. If the check box is not selected, the backup does not include the settings, columns, and content types at the site collection, sub-site, and list levels. The site collections, sites, and lists are not recreated during restore.

     If the setting was enabled earlier and then disabled after a few backups, the permission information is removed from the backup.

     Subsequent backups capture the metadata again if there are any changes.

     See Supported and unsupported SharePoint Settings and Types for backup and restore.

   • Capture permissions: Select this option to back up the SharePoint permission objects.

     Subsequent backups recapture these settings if they have changed. Permission changes are only captured during full backups for items and their stub.

     If the setting was enabled earlier and then disabled after a few backups, the permission information is removed from the backup.

     See Supported SharePoint permission objects for backup and restore.

3. Configure folder filters to limit the backup scope to specific folders.
