Troubleshooting

Setting continuous backup options

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

As of release 13.1, granular restore is available for all aspects of Microsoft 365.


	TIP: To use an existing set, in the Plugin Options list, select the set that you want to use.

Next to the Plugin Options list, click


	NOTE: To prevent a pop-up from appearing and causing the WebUI to be unresponsive, before creating the new plug-in set, click Edit and save the existing default plug-in options, and then click the + icon.

In the Additional Options section, if you want to use parallel streams to increase the speed of backup jobs, optionally select Enable multi-streaming and then indicate the number of streams.

The value that you enter depends on your configuration and network bandwidth. The maximum value is 30.

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 setting.

If you are setting up a backup job for Outlook, in the Outlook Options section, select the applicable options:

•

Enable Restartable backup: If you want to be able to pause a backup and have it resume from the point at which it was stopped, select this option.

•

This option lets you manually interrupt a backup job; it does not restart a backup job that has failed.Exclude attachments in backup: If you want to exclude attachments and inline images from messages, select this option.


	NOTE: The M365 plug-in does not support Restartable Backups.

By default, the plug-in includes attachments and inline images in backup jobs. Excluding attachments reduces the size of the backup and increases the speed at which it is processed.

•

Exclude Calendar backup: If you want to exclude calendars, select this option.


	NOTE: Even if calendars and events are included in the backup job, the plug-in excludes event attachments of type Item. NOTE: Shared calendars will not be backed up.

In Set Name, 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 continuous backup job

Use the Schedule, Target Storage, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.

To select Schedule options, click and complete the following steps

In the Schedule window, set the number of hours you want to have in between each incremental job. The minimum value is 1 day.

	NOTE: CDP is only available with QoreStor version 7.1.2 or later. Only supported devices appear as available target storage. If you do not have a supported devices, then no devices appear as target options.
