In this topic, let's understand how to add Groups, discover Groups manually, enable, disable, and delete Groups, and filter Groups.
Edit Groups backup settings
Perform the following steps to modify and update the existing backup settings for Groups.
Click a configured Group that you want to edit.
On the Summary tab, go to the Backup Settings section and click Edit . The Edit Group window appears.
Edit the required backup settings and click Save . For information about the backup settings, see Backup Groups data .
Discover Groups
The discovery process runs every 24 hours to identify new groups. However, you can also manually discover groups within your registered tenant.
Procedure
Click the refresh icon to discover groups.
Considerations
A SharePoint site discovered with a group will also be visible on the SharePoint listing page.
Enable, disable, or delete groups
Ensure you enable the group which you want to back up. Groups configured using auto-configuration settings will automatically enable the group for backup.
Considerations
Disabling a group will stop all the backups for a group.
Delete a group if you no longer want a specific group configured with inSync.
Watch this video on how to enable, disable, or delete groups
Procedure
Go to the Configured Groups tab and select a group that you want to enable, disable, or delete.
Click the three dots icon and click Enable , Disable , or Delete as per your requirements.
Considerations
When you delete a configured Group, all the associated Teams and SharePoint sites will also be deleted. This consideration does not apply to the non-configured Groups.
The enable, disable, or delete operations you perform from the Groups listing page will synchronize with the SharePoint site listing page.
For deletion, you need to enter a reason for deletion which is displayed on the Admin Audit trail . Deleting a Group stops any ongoing backup, restore, or download tasks.
All the data backed up for Groups will be deleted temporarily. You can roll back the deleted Groups within a configurable rollback window. After the rollback window expires, the Groups will be deleted permanently. For more information, see Rollback Actions .
📝 Note
You cannot delete Groups if it is enabled with Data Lock.
Filter groups
You can search for a specific group or filter them using predefined categories, such as Type, Last Backup Status, App Status, and Privacy settings.
