How to configure retention period for Google Drive in SysCloud Legacy UI?

You can configure the retention period for Google Drive backups in SysCloud to control how long backed-up Google Drive data is retained in the backup archive. The retention period can be configured at the domain, group, or user level based on your backup requirements.

Steps to configure the Google Drive retention period

Step 1: Log in to SysCloud using your admin credentials.

Step 2: Click the Settings icon from the header and select Backup Configuration.

Step 3: In the Backup configuration page, select Google Workspace from the cloud dropdown.  

Step 4: In the Domains tab, scroll to the Google Drive section and locate the Retention period setting. It would be Unlimited by default. Uncheck it to get the retention period options.  

Step 5: Select the required retention option.

You can choose one of the following options:

Unlimited: Retains backed-up Google Drive data without a defined retention limit.

Custom retention period: Retains backed-up Google Drive data for a specific duration. Enter the required value and select the retention unit, such as days, months, or years.

Step 6: Scroll to the Apply to whom? section and choose how the settings should be applied.  

You can select one of the following options:

Apply to backup archives for all users: Applies the updated settings to all existing users in the domain.

Apply only to users to be added in the future: Applies the updated settings only to users added to the backup configuration later.

Apply auto backup to all groups: Applies auto backup settings to all groups in the domain. This does not change user-level settings.

Step 7: Click Save Settings.
