How to enable or disable data export in CubeBackup for Microsoft 365.


By default, CubeBackup allows the administrator to export backups for SharePoint sites to local machines; however, for security and privacy reasons, data export for users is disabled. In order to enable/disable data export, please follow the instructions below to modify a configuration file.

Data export for SharePoint sites

  1. Log (or SSH) into your backup server.
  2. Open the configuration file <installation directory>/etc/config.toml using a text editor.
    Note:
    By default, the installation directory is C:\Program Files\CubeBackup365 on Windows, and /opt/cubebackup365/ on Linux.
  3. Find the [Export] section and change the value of SiteExportable to false. This will disable the data export for SharePoint sites in CubeBackup.
    [Export]
    SiteExportable = false
    
  4. Restart the CubeBackup service so the changes will take effect.

    On Windows: Open the Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell and run this command as Administrator

    "C:\Program Files\CubeBackup365\bin\cbsrv.exe" restart

    On Linux:

    sudo /opt/cubebackup365/bin/cbsrv restart
