Editing Express Backup Policies

Users of the Variable License Model can add and remove users and objects to and from backup policies created in Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365.

Consider the following:

• If you do not have any backups in your organization yet, you may have no access to the Backup Policies page.
• To manage backup policies, your organization must have Manage Backups permissions.

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 supports the following types of Express backup policies: Selected Items backup policy and Entire Organization backup policy. You can edit items included in a Selected Items backup policy.

1. Log in to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365.
2. In the main menu, click Backup Policies.
3. In the list of your backup policies, select the one you want to edit and click the three-dot icon on the right. In the local menu, click Edit.
