NetVault Plug-in for Microsoft 365 13.0.1 - User Guide

Adding patterns to use for exclusion and inclusion of mailbox folders

In addition to selecting mailboxes from the backup selection tree, you can create and store patterns of mailbox folders that you want to include and exclude for all selected user mailboxes that you back up. When you specify patterns to exclude or include, or both, the plug-in stores them with a Backup Selection Set. When you submit a backup job, you can select the set with the stored patterns. The plug-in then populates the backup list with mailboxes whose folder names meet the specified inclusion and exclusion patterns. There is no limit to the number of patterns that you can specify. Be aware that the plug-in gives priority to exclusions.

In the Navigation Pane, click Create Backup Job, and click next to the Selections list.

Performing backups

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

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 Administrator’s Guide.
