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
