Office 365 - Configuring Selections

Configuring selections 

Magnus Box supports backing up different items from your Office 365 account. Use the pencil button in the desktop app to configure which mailboxes and sites will be backed up. Make separate selections for both mailboxes and sites using the dropdown arrow beside the plus button.

The user has the following options for backups:

  • Back up all mailboxes/sites
  • Back up only the selected mailboxes/sites
  • Back up all mailboxes/sites except for the selected ones

When selecting users or sites for backup, the first dialog shows your current selection. Inside the first dialog, click the plus button to open a second dialog, to find users and sites from the Office 365 server.

The Search field in the second dialog box can be used to quickly filter for a known user or site.

When selecting users, the dialog also shows groups (Azure AD groups of user accounts). If you select a group, Magnus Box will backup all the mailboxes for user accounts belonging to this group.

Magnus Box supports Azure AD groups of user accounts but does not currently support Outlook groups. If email messages are in an Outlook group, Magnus Box will not be able to back them up. You can see the Outlook groups via the Sites view, but group messages are not included via the Sites backup job.

The only mailboxes available for selection are

  • Active Users (as shown in the Office 365 Admin Center), and
  • Shared Mailboxes (created with an Exchange E5 license plan or higher).
    • Magnus Box supports backing up Shared Mailboxes. Shared Mailboxes are counted as a full separate mailbox for the purposes of billing, regardless of the number of other accounts with access to the Shared Mailboxes.

The Protected Item configuration is also available remotely via the Magnus Box web interface. This feature can be used when the device is online with a live connection to the Magnus Box web portal.
