Selecting Google Drive files 


To select Google Drive files
  1. Click G Suite.
  2. If multiple G Suite organizations were added to the backup service, select the organization whos users' data you want to back up. Otherwise, skip this step.
  3. Do one of the following:
    1. To back up the files of all users (including users that will be created in the future), expand the Users node, select All users, and then click Group backup.
    2. To back up the files of individual users, expand the Users node, select All users, select the users whose files you want to back up, and then click Backup.
  4. On the backup plan panel:
    1. Ensure that the Google Drive item is selected in What to back up.
    2. In Items to back up, do one of the following:
      1. Keep the default setting [All] (all files).
      2. Specify the files and folders to back up by adding their names or paths. You can use wildcard characters (*, **, and ?). For more details about specifying pathsand using wildcards, refer to "File filters" (p. 73).
      3. Specify the files and folders to back up by browsing.
        The Browse link is available only when creating a backup plan for a single user.
    3. [Optional] In Items to back up, click Show exclusions to specify the files and folders to skip during the backup.
      File exclusions override the file selection; i.e. if you specify the same file in both fields, this file will be skipped during a backup.
    4. If you want to back up the files that are shared with the selected users, enable the Include shared files switch.
    5. If you want to enable notarization of all files selected for backup, enable the Notarization switch. For more information about notarization, refer to "Notarization" (p. 164).
