What is Full-text search ?

This option defines whether the email messages that are backed up content is indexed by the cloud agent.

The preset is: Enabled.

If this option is enabled, the messages content is indexed and you can search messages by their content. Otherwise, only searching by subject, sender, recipient, or date is available.

Note Search in encrypted backups is not supported.

The indexing process does not affect the backup performance because it is performed by a different software component. Indexing of the first (full) backup may take some time, therefore, there may be a delay between the backup completion and the content appearing in the search results.

The index occupies 10-30 percent of storage space occupied by the mailbox backups.

To learn the exact value, click Backups > Cloud applications backups and view the Index size column. You may want to disable full-text search in order to save this space. 

The value in the Index size column will decrease to a few megabytes after the next backup. This minimal amount of metadata is necessary to perform a search by subject, sender, recipient, or date.

When you re-enable full-text search, the software indexes all of the backups previously created by the backup plan. This also takes some time.
