Selective backup configuration

In GitProtect, you can choose which data to protect. For example, instead of backing up the entire Microsoft Exchange environment, you can back up only selected components, such as messages, calendars, or contacts.

Microsoft 365 groups

GitProtect supports Microsoft 365 groups — they appear in the users list and can be used to filter the list, including when creating a backup plan.

If you cannot see the Groups field in GitProtect Management Service, you must re-register your Microsoft 365 organization to make it visible.
