Smart Backup utilizes an advanced site change detection algorithm to selectively back up SharePoint Online sites. This ensures that only sites with changes are backed up, while unmodified sites are skipped.

To ensure your data stays up to date, Smart Backup requires you to set a mandatory backup interval, to reconcile data across all sites. You can choose a frequency that works best for your needs, ranging from 2 days to quarterly (90 days). The default setting is set to a weekly backup (7 days).
