Cove Backup Retention Update Eases Management, Reduces Risk
We are happy to announce that an improved backup retention framework is now generally available for Cove Data Protection. We made backup retention easier and more transparent—minimizing time spent on management and reducing compliance risk.
Long-term backup retention risk mitigation
While it is often necessary to keep backups longer than the standard 28 days, long-term backup retention management can be an unpleasant, time-consuming, manual task. As a result, many MSPs delay (or forego) retention management.
However, keeping backups longer than required can significantly increase compliance risks. Regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA require organizations to delete personal data once it is no longer needed for its original purpose. Failing to do so can result in legal action, fines, and reputational damage.
Automatically expiring backups at the end of their mandated retention period dramatically reduces the risk of non-compliance. It ensures that human error (or procrastination) does not derail retention management. Crucially, it provides a reliable record of backup data handling practices if an MSP faces a compliance audit or legal action.
Simplified retention management
New Retention Policies UI
As noted above, we’ve made retention management in Cove easier than ever. Now users can access enhanced retention policies via the Cove Management Console. This eliminates the need to set Archiving schedules in Cove Backup Manager and allows users to:
- Create, configure and manage retention across all customers and devices from a single location.
- Set retention for new intra-daily, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly backup sessions via extended retention policies.
- Auto-prune older backups, eliminating the need for manual intervention and improving technician efficiency.
Preconfigured retention policies
Cove users can choose between pre-configured retention policies for operational consistency or easily customize retention to meet specific customer needs. Simply duplicate an existing policy and update the settings. It’s easy because its Cove.
