Selecting SharePoint Online data

Select the data as described below, and then specify other settings of the protection plan as appropriate.

To select SharePoint Online data

1. Click Microsoft Office 365.
2. If multiple Office 365 organizations were added to the Cyber Protection service, select the organization whose users' data you want to back up. Otherwise, skip this step.
3. Do one of the following:
   • To back up all classic SharePoint sites in the organization (including sites that will be created in the future), expand the Site collections node, select All site collections, and then click Group backup.
   • To back up individual classic sites, expand the Site collections node, select All site collections, select the sites that you want to back up, and then click Backup.
   • To back up all group sites (including sites that will be created in the future), expand the Groups node, select All groups, and then click Group backup.
   • To back up individual group sites, expand the Groups node, select All groups, select the groups whose sites you want to back up, and then click Backup.
4. On the protection plan panel:
   • Ensure that the SharePoint sites item is selected in What to back up.
   • In Items to back up, do one of the following:
     • Keep the default setting [All] (all items of the selected sites).
     • Specify the subsites, lists, and libraries to back up by adding their names or paths.

       To back up a subsite or a top-level site list/library, specify its display name in the following format: /display name/**

       To back up a subsite list/library, specify its display name in the following format: /subsite display name/list display name/**

       The display names of subsites, lists, and libraries are shown on the Site contents page of a SharePoint site or subsite.

     • Specify the subsites to back up by browsing.

       The Browse link is available only when creating a protection plan for a single site.

   • [Optional] In Items to back up, click Show exclusions to specify the subsites, lists, and libraries to skip during the backup.

     Item exclusions override the item selection; i.e. if you specify the same subsite in both fields, this subsite will be skipped during a backup.
