I am unable to find Shared Drive (formerly Team Drive) on the SysCloud Backup Application. What should I do?

If you are unable to find Shared Drive data in the backup application, please reach out to your administrator to enable it.

If you are an administrator, follow these steps to enable the Team Drive option for your domain:

Choose the UI version - Turbo UI | Legacy UI

Turbo UI:

Shared Drive is available as a separate app under Google Workspace backup. It is located under the 'App archives' tab on the Archives page. You can add Shared Drives to the backup from the backup job. 

1. Go to the 'Jobs' page. 

2. Navigate to the third step in the backup job creation "Define backup job scope" and click on the pencil icon under the 'Apps' column. 

3. Select 'Shared Drive' from the app list and start the backup job. Shared Drive data will be backed up from the next backup cycle.  

Legacy UI

  1. Click “Backup” → “Settings” → “Manage Users.”

    start backup issue_manage users
  2. Search for the user, click “Profile,” and then select “MANAGE USER SETTINGS.”
  3. Toggle the Team Drive to “ON” and click “Save Settings.”

    Include Team Drive

Note: When you enable Team Drive for a user account, it will take about 24 to 36 hours to be activated.
