Enhancement
Support for Microsoft Planner
In addition to the existing Microsoft 365 apps, we have extended support for Planner, a task-tracking app used for collaboration in Microsoft 365. If the Planner data is accidentally deleted or lost due to ransomware attacks, it is permanently deleted. Moreover, if a group is deleted, the associated Plans will also be deleted. To avoid this data loss, we are offering a comprehensive solution to protect Microsoft 365 data, ensuring that all data is recoverable. You can now securely backup, restore, and manage Planner data, allowing teams to focus on their work without worrying about data loss.
Additionally, to ensure point-in-time consistency between apps in a Microsoft Group, we are introducing a unified backup of Groups. The unified backup includes all critical pieces of Microsoft Groups, like Group Metadata, Planner, and Group site, together so that correlated data that is spread across Groups ecosystem is available for restore in one place.
