Changing Backup Exclusions Settings

Overview

The Backup Exclusion feature lets you exclude specific objects from Composite Backups for the selected organization. This capability gives administrators greater control over backup scope, helping reduce backup size and processing time by omitting objects that do not require protection. This article explains how to add and remove Backup Exclusions.

Backup Exclusion Scope

Backup Exclusions are configured per organization. Objects added to the exclusion list are excluded only from Composite Backups. Template Backups and Template Archives are unaffected and continue to process objects according to their respective configurations.

Existing Composite Backups

Adding an object to the Backup Exclusions does not remove any data from existing Composite Backups. The exclusion applies only to future Composite Backups.
