Select this checkbox to automatically set the duration to delete the preserved users after a particular duration.

Note: 

• Once the user is auto-deleted, the backed-up data of that user is also deleted from inSync. You cannot recover this deleted data.

• User data retention or deletion is based on the backup retention policy you have defined through profiles.

• If a preserved user is under Legal Hold, the user will not be deleted.

Windows/Mac/Linux

Configure the profile based on the operating systems. You can protect data for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.  

Click on the Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms for which you want to configure the folders for backup.

Select this option if you want to add custom folders for each operating system apart from the folders listed by default.

To add a custom folder for backup, refer Add custom folder for backup.

Note: 

• Druva does not back up all drives which use non-NTFS file systems. To back up the drives which use the non-NTFS file system, you must configure the drives individually in the profile. To back up the drives which use the non-NTFS file system, you must configure the drives individually in the profile.

• Select All Drives for backup when you are not sure about the location of the files that you want to backup on user devices. 

To configure specific folders for backup on user devices, see Configure folders for backup.

Type a name for the custom folder you want to add for backup.

Note: 

• This option is displayed only when you click the + Add Folder option.

• In a few scenarios, inSync ignores the name defined in this field. For more information, see the Naming convention for global variables.  

 This name is used as an identifier for the custom folder by inSync.

Enable this option to backup and restore mobile device data. This checkbox appears if you select the Allow access from mobile devices checkbox in General settings.

Note: Due to Android OS limitations, inSync no longer backs up the App Settings for Android devices.

Select the folders that you want to back up. You can select the folders for both Android/iOS operating systems. 

Note: Druva does not back up all drives which use non-NTFS file systems. To back up the drives which use the non-NTFS file system, you must configure the drives individually in the profile.

Set the time interval for scheduled backups to start backing up data automatically on user devices as per the set frequency.

Note: The time in this list indicates the gap between two consecutive backups. For example, if the frequency for backups is 4 hours and a backup ends at 10:07 A.M., the next backup starts at 2:07 P.M.

Set the preferred time frame within which the data backup from user devices starts.

The scheduled backups are triggered on the user devices as per the selected backup frequency. Any backup triggered during this period will continue until completion, even past the end time. If you do not want any restriction on triggering a scheduled backup, type the exact start and end times. Example: 12:00 AM - 12:00 AM

Note:

• If the Blackout window is configured for a profile, an ongoing scheduled backup will automatically pause if the ongoing backup enters the Blackout window duration. And the backup will remain paused until the Blackout window duration is complete.

• The scheduled backup will automatically resume when the Blackout window duration is complete.

• Users can resume a paused backup if the backup has paused due to the Blackout window.

inSync follows the time zone of the user device if the Use admin time zone check box is not selected.

Select this checkbox to synchronize device backups to your time zone.

Example: If the administrator's time zone, who updated the profile, is New York (EDT) and the backup schedule is at 08:00 A.M., backups will start from 05:00 AM for user devices in Los Angeles (PDT). 

Note: If you select this check box, the configuration specified in the following Preferred backup window and Blackout window fields act accordingly to your time zone.

Select this checkbox to backup device data whenever a user attempts to log off/shut down the device and ensure data backup.

Note: This option is applicable only for Windows.

Set the time interval for scheduled backups that trigger automatically on user devices as per the set frequency.

This option will appear when you select the Enable mobile backup checkbox in the General section. By default, the backup operation is scheduled for every 8 hours.

Retain all Snapshots for

Set the duration in days to retain all the daily backups.

Example: If you set the duration to retain snapshots for five days and the backup is completed on January 5, it will delete the backup data from the storage on January 10.

Retain Weekly Snapshots For

Set the duration in weeks to retain all the weekly backups.

Note: The weekly backup is the last in a calendar week. The calendar week starts on Sunday.

Set this duration in months to retain all the monthly backups.

Note: The monthly backup is the last backup in a calendar month.

For more information about the retention policy, see Configure the backup retention policy.

Enable this option to:

• Protects the backed-up data from rogue admin threats.

• Ensure that the data cannot be deleted, modified, or encrypt the snapshots once you enable the Data Lock.

For more information, see Data Lock.

Note: Once you enable a profile with Data Lock, you cannot:

• Disable the Data Lock setting.

• Delete the snapshots, users, and devices associated with the profile.

• Edit the retention period.

• Change the profile of users.

• Remove the license of users.

Enter the maximum network bandwidth the user devices can consume while backing up data over WAN. 

You can indicate the maximum bandwidth in absolute terms or as a percentage of the total available bandwidth. If you do not want to set any restriction on bandwidth consumption, type 0 (zero).

Note: inSync requires a minimum bandwidth of 128 Kbps for backups over WAN. If you set the bandwidth as a percentage value, ensure the maximum WAN bandwidth is not less than 128 Kbps.

Select this checkbox to allow users to cancel an ongoing backup that is in progress.

Note: The backup will trigger automatically on the next backup interval.

Select this checkbox if you want to allow users to modify the Max Bandwidth and CPU Priority values.

Note: After a user configures these settings, you cannot change these settings.

Select this checkbox to allow users to block specific networks from backing up data. 

Example: Allow users to block backups on the data card, personal mobile hotspots, or Mi-Fi devices during traveling to minimize the personal hotspot or Mi-Fi data usage and costs.

Note: Users can opt out of networks with only 24 bits or more subnet mask.

Select this checkbox to allow users to update proxy settings.

Note: This will enable users to connect to inSync Server directly if the user relocates to a different business unit from where inSync Client cannot connect to inSync Server directly.

Example: If you set this to 1000 GB, inSync will back up user data for up to 1000 GB.

If you do not want to set any restriction on the data size, type 0 (zero).

Note: If the size of the files in the backup exceeds the assigned quota, the backup will fail.

Select this check box to delete inactive devices automatically. 

Set the number of days after which the inactive devices are deleted.

Once the device is deleted, the backed-up data of that device will not be available for download or restore.
