Companies

Companies are the main entity to apply Managed Backup settings to a group of managed domains, which contains all necessary attributes for efficient backup and restore management. This article is intended for company management for Microsoft 365/Google Workspace Backup. For a full list of company settings refer to Manage Companies chapter.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Domain Management Using Management Console Companies

Simplify the management of your Microsoft 365 and Google domains by grouping them into companies within the Management Console. Grouping domains by companies help you to ensure role-based access by company-specific administrators, detailed storage and license usage reports, and accurate billing. You can use the existing company for this purpose or create a new one.

Create a New Company

To create a new company, proceed as follows:

Open the Management Console.
In the Organization menu, select Companies or expand the + Add control on the top right corner of the screen and click Company to open Companies.

Click Company.
In the side panel, specify the company name, then click Create.
Once the company is created, click on the company name to configure the company settings using the side panel.

6. Skip the General tab settings. These settings do not affect the domain backup. Settings related to domains for the domains will be configured on Domains page.

The default company and the storage limit are not currently used for assigning new domains. If you use Getting Started Wizard to add a new domain, and there are no companies, the New Company company will be created automatically for the purpose.

7. Skip the License Settings tab, the licensing policy for the domains will be configured on Domains page.

8. Switch to the Backup Destinations tab.

Click the Add Backup Destination, then select the backup storage destination to keep the backups of domains associated with the company. In case the backup destination is not assigned to the company that is used for the domain backup, it is recommended to assign this backup destination to the company, to avoid issues with storage and license usage reports.

To add a new backup destination, refer to the Manage Storage Accounts chapter

10. Switch to the Backup Notifications tab.

On this tab, specify the notification policy for your backups of the domains associated with the company. The following options are available:

Use Global Options. Select this option to apply global notification settings for the company
Use Custom Options. Select this option to configure specific notification settings for the company. Once the option is selected the custom settings are available. Specify them for each separate backup plan result:
- Success. Specify email addresses for notification to be sent if a backup is completed successfully.
- Warning. Specify email addresses for notification to be sent if a backup is completed with warnings.
- Failure. Specify email addresses for notification to be sent if a backup terminated with errors.

Note that you must have the Allow Backup for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace to send email notifications option enabled in the global notification settings. To learn more, refer to the Notifications chapter

13. Switch to the Restore Notifications tab. On this tab, specify the notification policy for your restore results for the domains associated with the company. The following options are available:

Use Global Options. Select this option to apply global notification settings for the company
Use Custom Options. Select this option to configure specific notification settings for the company. Once the option is selected the custom settings are available. Specify them for each separate restore result:
- Success. Specify email addresses for notification to be sent if a restore is completed successfully
- Warning. Specify email addresses for notification to be sent if a restore is completed with warnings
- Failure. Specify email addresses for notification to be sent if a restore terminated with errors.
