Backup and recovery | Microsoft 365 backup and storage: 4 API change passages

What Microsoft published

Month-dated announcement

Added request guidance and examples for using retentionSettings when you create or update Exchange , OneDrive for Business , and SharePoint protection policies to configure how long backups are retained. Added the error property to the granularRestoreArtifactBase resource and its derived types. Use this property to get error details when a granular restore operation for an individual artifact fails or completes with an error. Added audit metadata to the browseQueryResponseItem resource. Use this metadata to identify when a file or folder was created or last modified and who made the change when you select items for granular restore. Added support for tracking backup retention periods and pending retention changes on protectionUnitBase . Use the backupRetentionPeriodInDays and pendingRetentionPeriodChange properties to monitor protection units as they move between policies with different retention periods.
