A backup profile defines how often Cloud Platform backs up an agent and how long it retains the snapshots. Each configured agent has exactly one backup profile.
To view your backup profiles, go to All Services > Copilot Agents > Backup Profiles.
Default Backup Profile
Copilot Agents includes a default backup profile named M365 Agents Default Profile. Cloud Platform selects it automatically when you configure agents for backup. You can use it unchanged, or create custom profiles for agents with different compliance needs.
The following table lists the default profile settings.
Setting | Default value |
Backup Frequency | Once a Day |
Retain Daily Snapshots For | 7 Days |
Retain Weekly Snapshots For | 4 Weeks |
Retain Monthly Snapshots For | 12 Months |
Data Lock | Disabled |
Backup Frequency
You can configure scheduled backups to run up to five times a day or as infrequently as once a week.
Retention
Cloud Platform uses the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) retention model. You set how long to keep daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots.
The following list describes each retention setting.
Daily: Retains daily snapshots for the number of days you set.
Weekly: Retains the last snapshot of each week for the number of weeks you set.
Monthly: Retains the last snapshot of each month for the number of months you set.
To retain snapshots indefinitely, set the value to 0.
Data Lock
Data Lock prevents accidental or malicious deletion of snapshots. It applies to all existing and future snapshots of the agents in the profile.
❗Important: After you enable Data Lock and save the profile, you cannot disable it. You also cannot do the following:
Delete the snapshots or agents associated with the profile.
Edit the retention period.
Change the Data Lock policy.
