Backup Types

An organisation backup can be of two types:

• Full: Where the whole organisation is being backed up. This is represented by the "organisation" object on the Inclusions screen.
• Partial: Where only specific objects are being backed up. By default, the whole organisation will be backed up in this mode. You can specify objects that you do not wish to back up in the "Exclusions" tab

Adding Backup Inclusions

1. In order to start using backup inclusions, you will have to remove (1), or edit (2) the organisation object.
   
2. You can add specific objects (such as users, groups) to the backup by clicking "Add", choosing a type, and object.
   
3. Users and Groups Inclusions can be further edited to only include specific types, by slecting the Object from the list (1), then clicking "Edit" (2).

Adding Backup Exclusions

Backup Exclusions can be used alongside partial or full backups. Excluded objects will be ommited from the backup.

1. Click on the "Exclusions" tab to view the exclusion options.
2. Click "Add", followed by choosing a type, then select which objects to exclude.
3. Users and Groups Exclusions can be further edited to only exclude specific types, by slecting the Object from the list, then clicking "Edit"
