Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Administrator's Guide

Configure additional backup options for SharePoint/Teams site/ OneDrive connectors

Configure additional backup options:

  • Process document libraries only

    You can select this option to exclude lists, blogs, and wikis from the backup.

  • Exclude system lists

    When this checkbox is selected, Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection skips the backup of lists and libraries that are marked as hidden or catalog.

  • Capture max__versions

    You can enter the number of versions to retain.

    If the check box is not selected, all versions of the items are backed up.

    If the check box is selected, only the set number of versions is backed up.

    Any versions beyond the specified number are marked as Removed from source.

  • Capture settings, columns, content types

    You can select this option to back up the settings, columns, and content types.

    This check box is selected by default.

    If this check box is not selected, backups will not include these elements, and the corresponding structures will not be recreated during the restore.

    If the setting was enabled earlier and then disabled after a few backups, the permission information is removed from the backup. Subsequent backups capture the metadata again if there are any changes.

    See Supported and unsupported SharePoint Objects, Properties, Settings, and Types for backup and restore.

  • Capture permissions

    You can select this option to back up the SharePoint permission objects.

    Subsequent backups recapture these settings if they have changed. Permission changes are only captured during full backups for items and their stub.

    If the setting was enabled earlier and then disabled after a few backups, the permission information is removed from the backup.

    See Supported SharePoint permission objects for backup and restore.

(Optional) Next step:

Configure folder filters to limit the backup scope to specific folders.

See Configure Folder filter.
