Backup Options
Include Versions - this option will allow you to specify how many versions of each item to include with the backup. If left unchecked, no versions will be included, if "Include All Versions" is selected then all versions will be included. If "Include Most recent versions" is selected then only the number of versions specified will be included, starting with the most recent and working backwards (major and minor versions are included).
Include Group Mailbox (This option is only available for Classic Backups)- include the group mailbox in the office 365 group backup.
Include only those items - This "Include Only" filter allows the configuration of which items, based on creation date, should be included with this backup.
The filter provides the following four scenarios. Please note that using this filter will also dictate which items are included in updates (Full, Differential and Incremental).
Include only those items "more recent" than a specified date. When this is configured, the backup will only include items created from today back until the specified date. It will never include items that were created prior to this date since the starting point (the specified "Date") has been explicity defined.
Include only those items "more recent" than a range. When this is configured, the backup will only include items created from today going back to the number of days, weeks, months or years configured. Both the today date and the starting point are dynamic and will vary based on the operation's start and end times.
Include only those items "older" than a specified date. When this is configured, the backup will only include items created prior to the specified date. In this configuration, since both the start and end dates are explicitly defined updates are unnecessary as the included items will never change. This option should only be used for a one-time backup operation.
Include only those items "older" than a range. When this is configured, the backup will only include items created prior to the specified date going back to the number of days, weeks, months or years configured. Both the starting date and the ending point are dynamic and will vary based on the operation's start and end times.
Send Notification -this option can be changed when updating a backup.
Smart Backup - This functionality in Hyper Backup will help you to save space on storage. It uses the MD5 algorithm to scan backup files and excludes duplicates.
Retention Policy
Keep Full Backups - if configured, this will specify how long the software will retain any Full backups that were created in this project. The retention purge will occur at the start of the next run or scheduled backup update for each project which contains a configured retention policy.
Keep Incremental Backups - if configured, this will specify how long the software will retain any Incremental or Differential backups that were created in this project. The retention purge will occur at the start of the next run or scheduled backup update for each project which contains a configured retention policy.
Save Backup to Location
Keep Full Backups - if configured, this will specify how long the software will retain any Full backups that were created in this project. The retention purge will occur at the start of the next run or scheduled backup update for each project which contains a configured retention policy.
Keep Incremental Backups - if configured, this will specify how long the software will retain any Incremental or Differential backups that were created in this project. The retention purge will occur at the start of the next run or scheduled backup update for each project which contains a configured retention policy.
When configuring the initial backup job, you may choose to apply an Inclusion filter against the content within the selected mailbox folders. This filter is based on the modification date of each item within the group and is designed to Include the content within the specified time period (by Date or by Range), not Exclude.
Please review the following scenarios to determine which setting is best for your backup needs. Please note that the initial filter configuration will impact how Updates (Full, Incremental, and Differential) are performed, so choose wisely.
Each configuration includes a chart displaying what will be included (green bar) versus what will be excluded (red bar). The bar on the bottom represents the initial Full backup and each above it represents the updates that can be performed.
When this filter is chosen, the backup will only include items that were modified after the date specified and never items from before the date.
