Discover Sites manually

If the Auto discover sites for backup option is enabled, inSync auto-discovers new site collections every 24 hours. If you want inSync to discover any new site before the next auto-discovery process runs, follow this procedure: 

1. Sign in to Druva Cloud Platform Console and navigate to  Microsoft 365 > SharePoint.
2. Click  to discover sites.
   inSync discovers the sites added to the SharePoint Online setup of your organization after the last auto-discovery process.

Edit Site Collection

1. Sign in to Druva Cloud Platform Console and navigate to  Microsoft 365 > SharePoint.
2. Click a configured site collection that you want to edit.
3. On the Summary tab under Site Settings, click Edit. The Edit Site Collection window appears.
   
4. Edit the required details and click Save.

Edit default backup settings

Edit the default backup settings to change the backup and retention settings from the default profile. To do that:

1. Go to the Settings tab. 
2. From the Default Backup Settings section, click Edit.
   
3. The Edit Default Backup Settings window is displayed.
   
4. Select the frequency of backups. By default, it is once a day. You can change it to Twice a Day, Thrice a Week, Twice a Week, or Once a Week. For more information, see Define backup interval for SaaS Apps.
5. In the Retain daily data backup for fields, specify the number of days, weeks, or months for which you want to retain all backups. At the end of the backup period, inSync will delete the data from the storage. For example, suppose you specify that you want to retain all backups for five days and inSync completed the backup operation on January 6, 2022. In that case, inSync will delete the backup data from the storage on January 11, 2022.
   Note: To retain the backups for an unlimited period, enter 0 as the value for all daily, weekly, and monthly retention settings.
6. Select the Teams Meetings Recordings checkbox to exclude the default folder path of Teams Meeting Recordings (TMR) from the backup.
7. In the Exclude File Types and Extensions field, specify the file types that you want to exclude from the backup of a SharePoint site collection. The file extensions are automatically added to the adjacent field. If you want to remove a file type, click the file type.
8. Click Save.

1. Sign in to Druva Cloud Platform Console and navigate to  Microsoft 365 > SharePoint.
   A page that lists all the discovered sites appears.
2. Select the disabled site title that you want to enable. Click the icon and click Enable. A confirmation dialog box appears. Click Enable.

Delete Snapshots

You can delete maximum 20 snapshots at a time. Snapshots in the data locked user profile cannot be deleted.

1. Sign in to Druva Cloud Platform Console and navigate to  Microsoft 365 > SharePoint Online. 
2. Click the user of which you want to delete the snapshot. 
3. Go to the Backups tab, select the snapshot(s) that you want to delete and then click the Delete Snapshot button.
