Default Retention Policy
NinjaOne SaaS Backup now requires you to set a default retention policy to meet compliance and governance standards. Previously, setting a default policy was optional. Your default retention policy applies to Email, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft OneDrive backups, ensuring that:
- Your data meets compliance and audit requirements.
- NinjaOne SaaS Backup reduces risk by removing data that your organization no longer needs.
- Your backups stay organized and easy to manage.
While setting a default policy is now mandatory, you can still create custom policies as needed. Learn more
