NetVault Plug-in for Microsoft 365 12.1 - User Guide

Performing backups

A backup using the plug-in includes the steps outlined in the following topics:

•
Selecting data for a backup
•
Setting backup options
•
Finalizing and submitting the backup job

Selecting data for a backup

You must use sets — Backup Selection Set, Backup Options Set, Schedule Set, Target Set, and Advanced Options Set — to create a backup job.

Backup Selection Sets are essential for Incremental Backups. Create the Backup Selection Set during a Full Backup, and use it for Full and Incremental Backups. The backup job reports an error if you do not use a Selection Set for the Incremental Backup. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

 
* 
TIP: To use an existing set, click Create Backup Job, and select the set from the Selections list.
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Backup Job.
You can also start the wizard from the Guided Configuration link. In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration. On the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Create backup jobs.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress or restoring data. The job name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
3
Next to the Selections list, click Create New.
4
In the list of plug-ins, open Plug‑in for Microsoft Office 365, locate the Outlook node, and do one of the following:
•
To include all mailboxes in the selection set, select the Outlook node.
•
To select specific mailboxes, expand the Outlook node, and select the applicable mailboxes.
5
Click Save, enter a name in the Create New Set dialog box, and click Save.
The name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.

Setting backup options

The next step involves creating the Backup Options Set or selecting an existing one.

 
* 
TIP: To use an existing set, in the Plugin Options list, select the set that you want to use.
1
Next to the Plugin Options list, click Create New.
2
In the Backup Type section, select the applicable option.
•
Full Backup: A Full Backup performs a complete backup of the selected mailbox, including its folders, messages, mailbox settings, and rules.
•
Incremental Backup: An Incremental Backup backs up all data changed in the selected mailbox since the last occurrence of a Full or Incremental Backup.
For more information, see Defining a backup-and-recovery strategy.
3
If you want to use parallel streams to increase the speed of backup jobs, select the Enable multi-streaming option, and then indicate the number of threads and streams.
If the number of mailboxes included in a selection set is less than the specified number of streams, the plug-in automatically adjusts the number of streams.
4
If you want to be able to pause a backup and have it resume from the point at which it was stopped, select the Enable Restartable backup option.
This option lets you manually interrupt a backup job; it does not restart a backup job that has failed.
5
If you want to exclude the attachments from messages, select the Exclude attachments in backup option.
By default, the plug-in includes attachments from backup jobs. Excluding attachments reduces the size of the backup and increases the speed at which it is processed.
6
To save the set, click Save.
7
In the Create New Set dialog box, specify a name for the set, and click Save.
The name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.

Finalizing and submitting the backup job

1
Use the Schedule, Target Storage, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
2
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
 
* 
TIP: To run a job that you have already created and saved, select Manage Job Definitions on the Navigation pane, select the applicable job, and click Run Now.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
