Setting up Box protection with Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection
To protect user's data in your Box environment using Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection, you need to based on your backup requirements. However, you must consider the following points before adding a connector.
.
Files and folders:
All files and folders for all users, or a set of specified users, including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, videos, and other file types.
All folders and files shared with the user being processed. For instance, all data accessible to a user is backed up in the context of that user. If the same folder is shared with ten users, it is backed up ten times (once per user). Deduplication ensures that only one physical copy is stored.
Version history:
The version history of files, including all previous revisions and versions that have been trashed.
Access control:
Set the Access Control List (ACL) for backed-up content to the user whose account the content belongs to. Similar to O365 mailboxes and OneDrive for Business, existing ACLs are ignored, and a specific user's ACL is applied.
Metadata:
All tags applied to files.
Notes:
Notes for collaborative note-taking. The raw Boxnote file is backed up and can be restored properly.
Deletion policy:
Delete file versions and files that match the deletion policy. If the last version of a file is deleted, the file is removed. An option to purge deleted content (bypassing the Box trash) is available.
Restore of folders and files back to Box:
Missing files can be restored with their entire version history.
Existing files will have only the latest version restored from the backup and made the current version.
:
Deleted files (in Trash)
Note:
If a file and all its versions are in the trash, its content will not be backed up. However, if only some versions are in the trash while the file remains active, those versions will still be backed up.
Sharing permissions.
Comments on files.
Custom metadata for files, beyond basic information such as last modified date, size, and data owner.
Tasks.
Folder's and file's retention information.
Folder's and file's legal hold information.
Multiple versions of the files.
Any content that was not backed up.
Recreation of the permissions on restore.
Recreation of the shares on restore.
Custom metadata on folders and files.
