If you want to do this for another individual, click Viewing As menu again and select the next account and repeat process.<br><br> Please note that there is no option to do on-demand backups for everyone in the domain in one operation, you have to go into each account to perform on-demand backups per user. Drive backups will include Team Drives content if Team Drives backup is enabled in Spanning.<br><br> If you have any additional questions, please contact <a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:support@spanning.com">support@spanning.com.</a></p> </article> </main>
