Hi Adam
Retention: 1 year
Snapshot--> All items in an the protected object (SharePoint Site, Teams, Mailbox, Archive, OneDrive) will be backed up and the restore point is kept for 1 year. You will be able to restore the object in the same state as it was from your backup.
Item Level --> Items (such as files, folders, mails, ...) within the specified retention period will be protected. If you take a backup today, Items/Item versions between "June 10, 2024" and "June 10, 2025" will be backed up. Items older than "June 10, 2024" will not be protected and cannot be restored. The retention process will remove outdated items from the repository.
If you want to be able to restore Mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint Sites or Teams with all historical data, then you must use Snapshot based retention. Please also note, if you ever want to migrate your backups to our VDC service for M365, Snapshot based retention is a requirement.
Best,
Fabian
