To help you create a job that will backup organization mailboxes to the repository, Veeam offers a friendly wizard. To launch the wizard, select the organization whose mailbox database you want to backup, and click Backup from the ribbon menu, or from the organization's node shortcut menu.
- Enter job name and optional description.
- Next, specify what mailboxes should be backed up. The following options are available:
- Backup all mailboxes - with this option selected, all mailboxes in the organization will be backed up. This is the default setting.
- Backup the following mailboxes - with this option selected, you can select what mailboxes will be archived.
Click Select to pick the mailboxes for backup; others will be excluded from processing. The displayed list shows mail address and user (owner) name.
- To speed up selection, use the Search field. Here you can enter the user name or email address to search for.
- To synchronize information about existing mailboxes with Exchange Online, use the Refresh button.

After you click OK, the list in the dialog window will be populated with mailboxes you selected.
- Next, specify scheduling options for the backup job:
- Periodically every <frequency> - default is 5 minutes.
- Daily at this time <time> <frequency> - default is 1:00 AM every day
- Terminate job if it runs longer than <interval> - default is 4 hours
- Retry failed job: <N> times - default is 3
- Wait before each retry attempt for <N> minutes - default is 10 minutes
Thus, each job is created with assigned schedule. If you want to force the job launch (despite the schedule), make sure the Run the job when I click Finish option is selected. The job will be started and displayed as Running.
If you do not want to run the job after clicking Finish, clear the corresponding check box. The job will appear in the UI as Stopped.
