5. Click Save.

Considerations

• This procedure will not back up the group. It will push all group emails to individual users inboxes, at which point Backupify Support can back it up via standard exchange backup.
• The group files are stored on a SharePoint site exactly like a team site and must be added to our platform in the same manner as team site URLs.
