Exclude specific Sharepoint Online sites from backups

[igibason]

Hello everyone,

We have a Canvas LTI integration that will automatically create a SharePoint Online site. Is there a way to exclude specific sites by name? For example exclude sites that start with "Course: ".

I see in the job settings I can manually check sites to exclude but that won't help with new sites created.

Thanks for any information.

Hello Ian

Currently, there is no filter available for including objects in backup jobs based on a "Start with" condition. One possible workaround is scheduling a RestAPI/PowerShell script to identify all SharePoint sites beginning with "Course: " and adding them to the backup job.

Add-VBOBackupItem: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=70

For the command Get-VBOOrganizationSite we have a -NotInJob parameter. Use the parameter to query all SharePoint sites which are not yet added to a backup job.

I recommend to test a custom script first on a temporary job (You don't have to run the job).

Best,
Fabian
