Introducing Curated Snapshots for Microsoft 365 (OneDrive and SharePoint)
We are excited to bring in the Curated Snapshots for Microsoft 365 feature that helps accelerate recovery time and minimizes data loss during cyber security attacks.
Curated snapshot allows you to create a customized snapshot with the latest, cleanest, and safest scanned file version available for restore.
You can restore files/folders for OneDrive and SharePoint from the Curated Snapshot without any security or malware risks. This enhancement eliminates the need to perform multiple granular restores from various snapshots.
- ►Here is a quick preview of Curated Snapshot for SharePoint and OneDrive.

Enhancement
UDA for VMware: Added sudo user support for Linux virtual machines
You can now provide sudo user credentials for a non-root user while using UDA for Linux virtual machines. This enhancement thus offers more flexibility and eliminates the restriction of using only root credentials for UDA.

New Feature
Unusual Data Activity (UDA) support for SharePoint and OneDrive
You can now define the UDA settings for anomaly detection for your backed-up SharePoint and OneDrive resources from Cyber Resilience > Security Events > Settings page.
Based on the defined settings, the UDA algorithm detects malicious, intentional, or unknown activities for the number of files that are added, encrypted, deleted, or modified and subsequently generates alerts, thus providing efficient data resiliency from threats.
You can review the alerts from the Security Events > Overview > Unusual Data Activity section and take appropriate action to resolve the risk to ensure the backed-up data is safe.

Enhancement
Rollback Actions support for manually deleted snapshots
With Rollback Actions, you can now rollback manually deleted snapshots for Endpoints and SaaS Apps within a configurable rollback window. By default, the Rollback Actions window is configured for 7 days.
The manually deleted snapshots are available for rollback for the specified days before they get permanently deleted.
This capability allows the administrator to revert malicious or unintended deletes without data loss and enables rapid restoring productivity.
If you have consciously triggered the deletes, the snapshots get permanently deleted after the rollback window expires.
Note: Currently, rollback action support for manually deleted snapshots is available only for Endpoints and SaaS Apps - Exchange Online, Gmail, OneDrive, Shared Drives, and SharePoint snapshots.
