Troubleshooting Tips

Limitations

1. Some of the backup schedule parameters cannot be edited. Editing settings like compression, encryption etc will make the new backup data and the old backup data (already backed up) incompatible.
2. Storage Groups/Mail Stores configured for the backup schedule cannot be removed or additional Storage Group/Mail Store cannot be added into the backup schedule
