# Editing an Existing Microsoft 365 Backup Job

Need to change what you're protecting, adjust your schedule, or update your retention policy? You can edit an existing Microsoft 365 backup job at any time.

***

### Step 1 — Open the Job for Editing

From the eazyBackup sidebar, select **e3 Cloud Backup**, then go to **Users** and select the user whose job you want to edit. Open the **Jobs** page for that user.

Find the Microsoft 365 backup job in the list and select the **Edit job** (pencil) icon.

### Step 2 — Make Your Changes

The **Edit backup job** modal opens. It uses the same four-step wizard as the original setup — **Connect**, **Inventory**, **Schedule**, **Retention**, and finally **Job name** — so you can move directly to whichever part you want to change:

* **Inventory** — add or remove users, mailboxes, SharePoint sites, OneDrive, or Teams, or fine-tune a granular selection (for example, adding **Calendar** and **Contacts** to a user who was previously mail-only). Use **Refresh inventory** to pull in newly added users or sites, and watch your **Selected for backup** panel update on the right.
* **Schedule** — switch between **Once daily** (included in the base price) and **Twice daily** (extra fee). Start times remain system-assigned between 7:00 PM and 11:59 PM.
* **Retention** — change how long backups are kept, from the default 1 year up to extended multi-year policies.
* **Job name** — rename the job as it appears in your job list, logs, and report emails.

Use **Next** and **Back** to move between steps. You only need to visit the steps you want to change.

### Step 3 — Save Your Changes

When you're happy with your changes, select **Create job** (or **Save**) on the final step to apply them. Your updated settings take effect on the job's next scheduled run.

***

### That's It

Your job is updated and ready to go. You can edit it again anytime as your Microsoft 365 environment changes, or select **Run now** from the Jobs page to test your new settings right away.
