What is Difference between "remove from content " & exclude from backup"  in Metallic backup for exchange online?

If i exclude a user/ user group from backup and reinclude it , will it cause next backup to be full?

Short summarized:

  • Exclude from backup will preserve all current recovery points and will only exclude the content moving forward.
  • Remove from content will do the same but will also mask the selected content from all current recovery points thereby making it unrecoverable.

They created a nice video explaining the difference:
