Date Filter: Backup only files created or modified within a selected date range.
Folder Filter: Include or exclude specific folders.
File Size Filter: Set minimum or maximum file size limits.
File Extension Filter: Include or exclude files based on extensions.
File Version Backup Level: When this option is enabled, it allows you to back up versioned files. The backup process runs sequentially, starting from the most recent version and proceeding to the oldest version.

Step 12: Configure backup performance and error handling options.

User Thread Count: Number of users backed up simultaneously.
Item Thread Count: Number of files/items transferred simultaneously.
User Login Attempts: Retry count if login fails.
User Drive Item Retrieve Attempts: Retry attempts if files cannot be retrieved.
Exported items’ log report: When this option is enabled, the software creates a log report that lists all items successfully backed up.
Filtered item’s log report: When selected, this option generates a log report of items that were skipped based on applied filters, such as date range, file size, selected folders, or file extension criteria. It allows users to review which items were excluded and the reasons for their exclusion.
Already exported items’ log report: By enabling this option, you can access the job report folder containing the log report of items that have already been backed up.
Note: The software automatically generates a Failed Items Log Report by default. This report contains details of items that could not be backed up due to errors or other issues, regardless of the selected log report options.
Bad Items Count: Max errors allowed before stopping the backup process.
Ignore these settings if not needed by clicking Next.
